bill Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 It looks legitimate, but with the polishing, it is really hard to tell without the coin in hand. The reverse die breaks should be a clue, but they are not in my 1976 edition of VAM. I don'y have a reference newer than that. It seems they should be cataloged at some point. The die breaks seem so obvious that maybe its a clue that it is a Chinese product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrey5 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 What about the minor details not being visible on this coin? Is it normal for leaves not to be connected to the stem on a coin struck with original dies of a US mint? See e.g. leaves next to 'U' & 'N' in UNITED. Also compare the letter D in this word on the coin above and on any Morgan Dollar 1882 O graded by PCGS or NGC. The lower line on D was strait in UNITED on 1882 O graded coins I found on the net, which is not the case on this coin. Here is a link to a graded coin with good magnification for comparison: http://www.southgatecoins.com/rare-coins/silver-dollars/morgan-silver-dollars/721-1882-o-morgan-silver-dollar-pcgs-ms-65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
