SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 3:15 pm Gas bubbles are unlikely - Morgans are alloy, not layered - but pitting is generally found on the reverse rather than obverse. I'm inclined to think this is something post-mint, or a wierd planchet (unlikely) because of how extentive the damage is, but it deserves further examination. Can you get closer pics of the pitted area somehow? Report this Post to the Staff
