cworld New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/08/2011 12:14 pm I have not been able to find the answer on my own so I turn to you fine people. I have an 1884-P Morgan that appears to have an error on the reverse. Their seems to be a "tear" in the metal across the breast of the eagle. It doesn't seem to have been made post minting because the coloring is the same. That is to say it does not look like a scratch to me. I am including pictures (scans) of the coin in question. Note there is some discoloration around the area in question but it is not as visable with the eye as it is in the picture. Would love any help! Thanks in advance. C Report this Post to the Staff

The possibility remains that your coin is the result of a post-mint hit by something - it's tough to tell in this image. Report this Post to the Staff
