Although I have studied, or even soe t any real time looking at it Morgan dollar, these two coins don't look right. Does anyone with Morgan knowledge see anything that constituents error or known Edited by Nativearapaho 11/02/2021 04:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 05:36 am The coins need to come out of the flips for photos. What I do see looks okay. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Nativearapaho Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 05:59 am BH1964, I agree completely with their needing to be removed from holders. I'll have them tomorrow and shall do just that. Appreciate your time and scholarship. Regards, Brandon Report this Post to the Staff

Q-tips could help move off even more gunk if needed. To your last point, after if you can see more detail with hopefully removed gunk, the bestest website for Morgan varieties is by far vamworld.com, since there is a possible O/CC over-mintmark on the 1900-O, and the 1888-O has a number of special vams to check out.

Nativearapaho Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 07:58 am Mrwhatisit, thank you for the help. Acetone would not decrease the coin in value, rendering it a cleaned coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 08:59 am Agree, much better pics needed, and one coin per thread would be best. Report this Post to the Staff
Nativearapaho Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 12:21 pm Yes Coinfrog, agree with you all around. My bad on all the duplicate photos. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 2:17 pm Acetone is chemically incapable of altering the metal in any way. It would be like if you spilled Pepsi on a coin, if you rinsed it off and patted dry with a cotton cloth, you have not cleaned the coin - you just removed a foreign substance. In the hobby the hobby, the term cleaning means altering the metal even on a microscopic level like the scratches that can result from wiping the coin. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 3:02 pm The last two images appear to be an 1883 obverse and a C3/ C4 type ( no mint mark) reverse which was not used until 1900 at the Philadelphia mint and in 1901 at the New Orleans mint. You may be looking at an 1883-O and 1900-P? Edited by dave700x 11/02/2021 3:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
