Modern fake. AT.
Looks pretty good.
Few details, on lower leg not ankle, actual size is about same as Morgan, 1970 is her birth year...

Did you get it as a 50th birthday gift to yourself? Very nice tattoo that's a good portrayal of a Morgan dollar.

Since when did beavis and butthead model for coin portraits?
My guess is that it won't grade. Might want to do a "Walk Through" just in case.

As she gets older it will be considered a crusty, original!
Not bad for an artist who likely is unfamiliar with Morgan Dollars.

I guess a 1970 Morgan tattoo looks better than a 1970 Ike tattoo
I'm guessing that's her birth year and she got the tattoo to celebrate her 50th birthday.

She took a coin for artist to look at, took 6 hours, photo doesn’t do it justice, full liberty clear. Etc

That's exactly what came to mind for me!

Obviously cleaned.
Excellent transaction with: ffcoins, Proofmorgan, fivecents, MorganMan94
Cleaned (I hope)
Sorry! Couldn’t resist. That’s a cool one.
…beat me to the punchline by one lousy minute
That is a nice looking tattoo the artist did. They did a nice job of it with the details on the coin.
This is a good tattoo. That other one, meh.
It could use some color.
No hair lines
Nice original skin
😮
I'd send that into our host. Not sure if it's real...

So that's a walker.
Lady Liberty looks mega pissed. But more power to her for having a coin tattoo.

I don't like tattoos so I won't rate it.
I don't know. Could be a Chinese counterfeit.
But it may be covered in adjustment (stretch) marks! She could nickname it "sagging liberty."
I wouldn't scar my body up with an image of the coin.
Keep your eye open for thieves.
Years in the Navy, world travels, and associated bad associations...I never did get a tattoo...Actually took a buddy to a tattoo parlor for his tattoo once... Just never wanted one. Probably would not get a coin tattoo though....Though the one in the OP seems well done... Cheers, RickO
Better than some Chinese fakes!

Tattoos should be accurate depictions of the subject.
If she gets a sunburn, that's NT, right?
Yes, but self tanner would be AT.
Would like to see the reverse......
Reminds me when my wife wanted her first ink and I took her to Lyle Tuttle in SF. He had a display of old ink on donated human skin sections. Very interesting to say the least. Peace Roy

Got it 6 years ago, still looks pretty decent. People ask me about it and what it means. I tell them it's the reverse of a Morgan dollar, then I go on and tell them about the 13 arrows, the olive branch, the 8 tail feathers and George T. Morgan. It has landed me some small coin collections, plus it's my series.
What VAM is it?
Maybe add some toning.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Looks like the Prison inmates spent all of their time training to make Teapots instead of Tatoos
That's a little creepy but interesting.
Just got back home from a weekend at the beach. Without going into detail, my on site observance leads me to conclude that tattoo artists have a very up close and personal working arraignment with the ladies.
The girl who does my tattoos doesn't mind it. Her wife though, might.
Well hopefully they can avoid an indictment after that arraignment.

It's close but not all there yet, some subtleties need to be ironed out IMO. My suggestion is take this line drawing from an old ANA grading standards book and have it touched up. Maybe mark it up with pen first to make sure.
