Just thought some here would enjoy it...

MrEureka · November 23, 2004 1:12PM

yeah, right.

coppercoins · November 23, 2004 1:37PM

Okay, so maybe I was wrong. I thought 1895 proof dollars were quite rare, but I'll be the first to admit that I know little to nothing about the series. I'll abstain from sharing further photographs of coins I think may be of interest to others.

JRocco · November 23, 2004 1:45PM

Hey C.D., that is one shiny looking copper you got there

Please tell me that is your coin. While your at it , I know your real interest is in coppers so if that is your coin, I would love to help you out and hold onto it for you for say-50 years...

Bear · November 23, 2004 1:47PM

Give ya two dozen jelly donuts for it, just to help you out.

jdimmick · November 23, 2004 1:57PM

I think I can see the removed mintmark on that Morgan!!! Looks like it was an S

The coin isn't mine...I wouldn't have a coin like that. I was paid to photograph it.

It is certified as a proof, so I doubt it had a mintmark. It does have very sharp details.

I don't know anything about them, but now know it was a mistake sharing it here. I won't make the same mistake again.

Wolf359 · November 23, 2004 2:34PM

CD: Super nice coin, thanks for the photo. Obvious proof, circulated I think. Who slabbed it?

K6AZ · November 23, 2004 2:36PM

I don't know what all the fuss is about. It is a typical slightly circulated proof 95, probably holdered as a PF55-58.

Myqqy · November 23, 2004 3:17PM

If it's a "typical" slightly circulated proof 1895, why is there zero feather definition on the Eagle's lelf wing? Is this coin actually certified???

Hi All,
now, what do you suppose this could be on Coppercoins 95 Morgan? I found it using nothing but resizing, contrast and brightness - in just 1 minute. Of course, I added the circle. And I thought I was going to find it with the inversion tool LOL.
I dunno..looks like..a f....h...e...u...v....w..g...a...t..w......S!
I am NOT trying to come down on you Coppercoins. Just sharing what I found. Now, if I only knew something about mintmarks (don't own any mintmarked coins and seldom have) and Morgan $'s - I am sure there are many other ways to ID this as a business strike (apart from the obvious) - even if the S was not ridiculously visible.

Best,
Lt. Columbo

PS - Oh Sir? Pardon me Sir, there was just one thing more, it probably doesn't mean much...you know, Mrs. Columbo likes details..she'd just love to know who slabbed it?

1895 PR (Poor Removal)

Coppercoins original scan (I can see the S and whatnot in this image as can many of you)

ER · November 23, 2004 8:40PM

Good work, Billy Boy, errr...I mean, Lt Columbo.

Oh, there 's just one more thing, Sir.

I think Billy did a nice job debunking this 95-S. By the way who is it certified by? CD if you are alway's going to be so super sensitive you might want to put something in your sig line that states your sensitivity problem so we can be more careful around you. mike

darktone · November 23, 2004 10:36PM

Billy's pic's quit working so he asked me to post them

kryptonitecomics · November 23, 2004 10:54PM

Honestly..........just looking at the original scan I can see the shadow of a removed "S". It also does not look like a proof to me at all, just a normal business strike????

I wonder if it's in an ACG holder

Yes coppercoins don't get mad at the board members for pointing out an obvious fake, as yoyu said you don't own it so know one is bashing you, just the coin.

Now if you post a picture of that coin in a PCGS or NGC holder then..................we will all be eating crow

ebaytrader · November 23, 2004 11:00PM

<< Nice, rare Morgan dollar... >>

The '95-s is a great date in all grades.

Look up the definition of facetious.

coppercoins · November 23, 2004 11:25PM

Point is, I DON'T CARE!!!

I posted the photo of someone else's coin for other people's enjoyment. NOT for analysis. I took the photos, end of story. I REALLY don't care about the coin. It isn't mine, it would never be mine, I don't collect silver.

So many people around here ALWAYS miss the point in people's posts. They either don't read, don't care to read, or have some sort of problem otherwise, all I try to do is share stuff and share information where possible, and I have every so-called expert in the place crawling out of the woodwork to tell me "my" coin is fake. You know, just let the topic die. I don't CARE!!!

You can guarantee I won't EVER post another coin photo here if I can't defend what I post down to the molecule...which basically limits me to always posting about Lincoln cents, because that's about all I know. Fine. So be it. I shall also refrain from posting any of the photos of the rare and unique gold pieces I will be photographing at the Smithsonian next month...no problem. I can't defend them, I won't post them. No biggie, it's actually a pain in the ass to post photos here anyway.

Wow. Calm down.

Its not your coin. I understand that. Forget the guy trying to "expose" the coin. You have nothing in it and just photgraphed it.

Can you just tell us who slabbed it? maybe that will clear up some confusion.

<<So many people around here ALWAYS miss the point in people's posts.>>

Sorry - the original title of your thread was "Rare, nice Morgan $" - well, it appears not. I am sorry but thats not my fault. Wheres the pics, wheres the slab?

<<all I try to do is share stuff and share information where possible>>

That is exactly what I was doing.

I know it is not your coin. I'd be happy about that myself, unless you are gonna show some top 3 slab. Even if you did - I still think there is an S there - because it is plainly visible in your own photo and several commenetd on it before I even found yout thread. All I really did was show it.

Best,
Billy

No worries coppercoins, if your photo's weren't so good no one would have even noticed

If you are being paid to photograph somebody's property wouldn't you need thier permission to make these photographs public ?

coppercoins · November 24, 2004 1:37AM

<< If you are being paid to photograph somebody's property wouldn't you need thier permission to make these photographs public ?

>>

I take the photos, I own the photos. The owner of said coins is paying for the prints, not for the rights to my work.

Furthermore, if it were even necessary, I have full permission to do whatever I wish with the photos of the owner's coins.

kranky · November 24, 2004 1:48AM

I always enjoy seeing good coin photos!

Louis · November 24, 2004 1:50AM

I would think there would be a moral if not a legal obligation not to make them public if thier permission was not granted.
