sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/19/2020 8:52 pm Looks similar to high pressure die cast. There isn't any sign at all of even a tiny sign of radial mint luster, or any sign of hairlines or minor dings, which one would expect to find in a Morgan of this grade. Very faint definition of the jaw line with the field. Have a very close look at the edge for removal of the injection point casting sprue. Report this Post to the Staff
