Another nice NO Morgan with advanced Die Deterioration and a field displacement below IBUS to the top of the cap. The writing was already on the wall at the no mint by this time, the employees and supervisors all knew the end was coming soon. Yet they cranked those puppies up and hammered out lots and lots of big round hunks of silver. Outright apathy, if not neglect, was present at all levels of the operation (and quite possibly interference from organized crime figures if you believe Mr. Burdette's take on things) The dies were run until they broke and then run some more, re-polished, basined, and ground to remove the evidence of cracks and clashing. cf. 1904-O VAM 28A "trigger", one of my favorites, and one of the few hard clashed Morgans that can be found in DMPL, indicating that the poor conditions at the mint were causing damage to even brand-new dies, complete with a rotated reverse!

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
