thedeadpoint Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Great coins, Mark. Is this a new collecting area for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Great coins, Mark. Is this a new collecting area for you? Nah, mostly a low cost whim right now. But I have been looking more at the 1700 European and earlier stuff. Even picked up a krause 1601 to 1700 catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 One more Morgan year/mint I was missing. 1889 O Have not done much checking on vam, but looks like a normal vam 1. Does have a die clash by left wing and a small one above the right wing. But I don't see any other transfers. Edit VAM 10 wide date Edit again VAM 11 this time for real.

thedeadpoint Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Great addition, Mark. Makes me want to pick up a new Morgan for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Great addition, Mark. Makes me want to pick up a new Morgan for myself. That one is kind of tough getting in a decent grade. I am going to continue slowly picking up business strikes and maybe one day have a complete set.

Art Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Great looking Morgan. They are beautiful coins and make a fine collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 A duplicate year/mint morgan. One of those right price deals. 1896 And an addition to my Texas store tokens. No real firm date. But it had to be after he got the town renamed. WALBURG, TEXAS. Store token Henry Doering moved to the area in 1881 and opened a general store the following year. In 1886 he added a post office and renamed the settlement after his hometown of Walburg, Germany. Color off actual color silver. Made of aluminum.

Mark Stilson Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 More nice stuff. Your Morgan collection is really moving along. Not fast enough. At least it seems like. Been saving money and have not really picked up a morgan I needed for awhile. Except the 1889 O. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up the next missing one soon. Waiting on a couple more safety incentive gift cards from work. Hopefully they may make it in this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Got my lincoln lp2 rolls today. No pics since they get to stay in the mint box. Edit: Decided to add a picture of the end on the phili roll. Curiosity got the better of me. A ddr-002 showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 A tough in higher grades 1886-S VAM-2 S/S Repunched Mint Mark and one of the the morgans I have needed. This coin is a Top 100 Morgan VAM 2 III2 1 C3b (S/S) (187) I-2 R-4 Obverse III2 1 - Some specimens have die chips in 6 all across opening f top loop and in the upper part of the lower loop. Reverse C3b - Doubled IV S mint mark tilted left with thin vertical line to right of top serif and metal at top left side of bottom serif. 1886-S VAM-2 S/S. The 1886-S VAM-2 has a repunched mintmark. A small portion of the S can be seen in front of the upper right serif as well as through the notched lower serif on the S. This one does have the die chips in the loops of the 6.
