The difference in contrast between the fields and the "shadows" around the devices (most visible in the 4th pic down) are a dead giveaway. Furthermore, most prooflike coins have very little reflectivity in the devices themselves - a reflective cheek is a red flag. Report this Post to the Staff
superunderdoggie New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 12:40 pm Thanks for the feedback. I bought a litter of these Morgans for what turns out to be about $19 each or so. I was hoping to get a few nice ones because the guy told me they were all AU-BU....I kind of doubted it but figured for $19 each I could take a chance. Looking through them it seems some of them may have been cleaned and/or polished....but I'm too new to really know what to look for. So, thanks for all your feedback...I'm learning how to grade by listening to you guys and of course studying and practicing. Thanks!
