This odd cross at the eagle's neck is not a gouge. It looks like it is struck into the coin. Anyone seen anything like this?

Thank you for any assistance!

Knife cut which raises an edge that may look like part of the design. A similar looking Morgan was a topic of discussion years back. http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewt...eagle#p69157

I agree with the coin being knifed, I have seen this multiple times. Over time, it smoothes over and just shows as a raised area.

Thank you all for the information. I took a couple of pictures, as requested. I have to figure out how to reduce the file size to post them. I'll get back to you shortly.

Any photo editor will allow you to resample/save a picture to a smaller size. I use lrfanView, a free photo editor. https://www.irfanview.net/faq.htm

Was just watching a video On Daniel's Coin help You channel and saw this picture of a coin listed for sale on ebay and I remembered this thread. At first I thought it might have been the same coin seeing as the auction ended over a year ago. but its a 1878 in this example. Sorry for the horrible images. this seller is a terrible coin dealer.
