I agree that it is under graded! I think it is a minimum of 55. However, can someone tell me if they have ever seen a tail like this?

That appears to be a die gouge. I recommend you send that to Leroy Van Allen for VAM attribution. Your coin appears to be a VAM 3. If it indeed is a die gouge and not some well placed bag mark, you will likely receive a new VAM designation. Likely, VAM 3A.

do you really think it could be a new VAM? Would I have to send the whole coin or just detailed pictures?

There is an arrow head and pressed between the E and D and the nine is closed. Also, some of the letters in God we trust are touching.

you may be able to contact him and send him detailed pictures to see if he recommends you send it in but to be sure he would have to see the original coin so you would have to send it in

Keep in mind what *could* clash there - what's on the other side of the coin at that spot? There is no arrow on a Morgan die opposite ED, and no A opposite IT. These features aren't clashes.

VERY pricey, like $2800 - $4500 range pricey.

Beautiful coin hemi, nice crisp details. I'm surprised it's not higher than a 53 grade, looks more like a MS-60 or 63 possibly.

Those marks on the reverse you've highlighted are unique. Might be worth having those inspected to determine what they are and how they got on the coin.

can anyone suggest a place to send the coin? Should I crack this coin out as I believe it is under graded also? This would be a big step and I am interested in serious opinions. Thanks everyone!
