Trying to understand this Morgan Dollar error......

Slightly underweight at 25.9 grams. It's 90% silver so it's real. Thought it was an out of collar, but ruled that out. Railroad rim? Then I think I settled on a Tilted Partial Collar strike. What is your guess?
Worth getting graded with the error on the label? Overall value?
thanks,
bob :)

    Did she loose that much weight thru tear and wear? I don't know much about the value but it sure is full of personality ;)

    This looks like a damaged coin, not an error.

    Looks like post-Mint damage.

    That Morgan looks like it was a belt buckle coin... force into the retainer, worn for many years, and finally liberated. PMD... Cheers, RickO

    So the pinched rim flaw is the same on both sides, indicative of upset planchet? Dings on the rim are later. Could be the overall wear is decades as a pocket piece. IMO. Peace Roy

    Agree. I've seen several silver dollars pressed into western style belt buckles. Post mintage damage.

    Agree - encased coin or maybe a belt buckle.
