morganman Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 03/29/2006 10:37 pm Since I am a new member, I cannot e-mail you, but I saw a post you had about an 1883 O Morgan with a die crack. I have one identical to it. Mine would probably grade MS-64/65. What did you ever find out about it? Mine also has the die clash on the reverse. MM Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 03:00 am Hi Morganman Welcome to the forum !!! I had posted about this coin but I pulled the post in the hopes of getting better pics. So really I have not found out anything about the coin at this time,, I'm very new to Morgan dollars and my resources for study of them is very limited (this will be remedied soon I hope ) Interesting that you have a twin to my coin !!! My coin will also grade in the 64 range it has very nice luster and a very full strike for an O mint Morgan. It wont take long to reach the number of posts required to email, and I would be very interested in exchanging info on this coin with you !! Thanks Rick Report this Post to the Staff
morganman Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 08:32 am Thanks for the reply. I will try to post some pics later today showing detail of the die clash and the crack marks. MM Report this Post to the Staff
morganman Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 09:49 am Ok here are the images. This is the crack right above the crude line I made. Image: 83crack.jpg 41.11 KB This is the clash both the obverse and the matching reverse where the obverse die hit the reverse one. I wonder if this caused the crack? Interesting.

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 12:55 pm I would need to see both of your coins in hand to make an assessment. I'll send you my mailing address offline. Mark your coins with a magic marker or lacquer with your initials or something so I can keep them separate; maybe file a notch in the rim. Wouldn't want to mix them up, would we?

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 1:38 pm Hi Morganman Very cool !!! Does your coin show the two die gouges on the leg of the F in OF ?

But you know I dont have any coins worth the trouble !!! Rick Tell ya what, Rick. Send me ALL your Morgans in one package. I'll weigh them and see if I can get bullion for them. Fred PS - Seems PCGS is doing the same thing to me - making my good coins into bullion. See my recent 1890CC Morgan post in Coin Grading Practice. Report this Post to the Staff
