It is very obvious this coin has issues, and the fact you cannot see that is concerning


i called the coin AU55 possibly cleaned because the shadows were hiding the surfaces in some of the areas. its not a harsh cleaning but the coin does look dipped. also of note is that the hairlines on the blowup photo do not crossover onto the devices. I'm not 100% convinced that they are not die polish lines. if you attempt to clean a coin its practically impossible to miss the devices and leave those kinds of marks on the field in a tight area without hitting the devices

@pan.... Thank you. This is precisely why I am posting... To learn more about Morgans. The devices do not show polish lines.

be careful with the term polish lines. there are two types. die polish lines and PMD from polishing. when you talking about die polishing lines make sure you qualify it so thats it not confusing as to intent of your statement.

Thanks IGE...I always appreciate it. I know you aren't into ancients but I posted a few pictures from a collection I bought today elsewhere in the thread.
