I need help in evaluating whether my Morgan dollar contains an error. I have an 1882-0 MS63 Morgan dollar that has a particularly eye catching prominence. The promenince includes a silhouette of Lady Liberty's face on the reverse and a silhouette of the wreath on the obverse side. I dont want to say this is a double strike. Does anybody know what this could be? The value?

This could be remnants of a die clash. Without clear pictures though, exactly what happened to the coin is just a guessing game.

Interesting, do these silhouettes have a color or a texture? How much of the wreath and face are silhouetted?

If it looks anything like this picture, then it is a die clash which is quite common on Morgan dollars and generally only brings a premium if very strong or a letter clash is present.

you will see the face outline at the top of the wreath

I can think of about 9 PLUS possibles with clashing , however with the lights out and the bed time story, it sounds great, but full OBV and REV pictures are needed to figure it out....close ups of date and mint mark please!
