Thanks SuperDave! I will get some more pix as soon as I can. I have had it for over 20 years so I guess hanging on to it longer won't be a problem. I am also interested to see if there is indeed doubling on the denticles. Now I have to check my other Morgans. Thanks again! CM

Given the limitations set on the coin by the collar, I really doubt that there is any denticle doubling there Cash Money, I was probably just getting carried away in my excitement over the photo.....Like Dave suggests, it is probably a lighting thing.....
edited because I think that I said something that is not allowed.

I will buy you a camera set up to take pictures of that coin. So if I have a doubled denticle Morgan... will you also by ME a camera setup to take a pic of it?  |

Oooo, I can see where I might have really stepped in it, and this might cost me a small fortune real fast.... do you happen to have a double denticled Morgan Mike?

You've got me rethinking what is possible and what is not now......Don't you already have a camera set up anyway? (Let me think a bit more on it though).

I have a cheap-o camera... but do have a celestron digital handheld microscope... aint the best, but it works... I do have a doubled denticle Morgan... will have to dig it out. However the doubling is no where near as dramatic as the pic of that CBH you posted.
Though I appreciate the thought, I could not accept a gift like that... it is fun however to think about it. :-)

Thought about it, and I could see how it might be possible (double struck out of collar), so the answer is 'no' because you probably have one of those.
This coin however, was not struck out of collar from what I can tell.

Oh,.... well,.... since you are not accepting anyway, let me reconsider.   I would like to see that coin though....never have seen one before. |

OMG.....twelve are known (so far) (12 x $1000 =........)....Thanks very much Dave.....Okay since there were no takers, are offers have now expired.
It is really great to see something that I have only mused.
Looks much like I had imagined, though I had not considered the spiked chin and chin wart.

I've a vague recollection of noting a few others over the years. Vanishingly rare, given the quality of the press mechanism, but present all the same.

These things just about had to be struck out of collar the second time, don't you think? Is there anything odd about the diameter, or reeding?

The pics of the NGC coin are inconclusive; they're precisely the same pixel count horizontally and vertically, obviously either croppped, forced, or both. |

What is this 'pixel' count to which you refer Dave? Is it something to do with photo imaging? You are leaving me in the dust with all of that technical jargon.
