Yeah, when you have it in hand it is barely noticeable, more of a dark hairline.
@MWallace Great cameo. Large E? Love the coin.
@kaz Love it scratch or not.

Not a Morgan fan, but I couldn’t resist this one for junk silver money.
She's no longer mine, but a nice looker.
This one is actually a VAM-6 "privately-made" (vintage silver counterfeit). It apparently circulated extensively as a genuine dollar. Note the reverse hub type of 1900 (wide gap between the back of Eagle's neck and wing):

Another vintage counterfeit, struck with hand-cut dies. Although it looks a lot like real silver, it actually is an alloy of several cheaper metals, none of which are silver:

That is really cool.
I love circulated cams. Here are a couple:

@edwardjulio.... Now that is a classic - and very attractive - circam coin.....I do like these coins, and that one is special. Cheers, RickO
Nice coins. Here are some of mine. I like that look on early 19th stuff.

Some beautiful Circams™ in this thread!
not quite a full-on CircCam but getting there...
Nice stuff here!
Why, yes. Yes, I DO like that look.
A little bit.
I'll go in chronological order, so the US stuff will be towards the bottom. Some of this stuff is more merely "crusty" rather than true black-n'-white CircCam, but everything here's got a little bit of contrast, at least.
Greece (Spartan colony in Taras, Calabria, Italy): silver drachm, ca. 302-281 BC
Egypt (Ptolemaic Kingdom): silver didrachm of Ptolemy VI ("Philometer"), second sole reign, ca. 163-145 BC; Cyprus mint
Roman Empire: bronze sestertius of Antoninus Pius, struck ca. 159 AD
Roman Empire: silver denarius of Julia Domna, wife of Septimius Severus, struck ca. 193-211 AD, Laodicea mint
Turkey (Seljuks of Rûm): silver dirham of Kaykhusraw II; lion & sun, AH 638 (1240-1241 AD)
Crusader States (Lusignan Kingdom of Cyprus): silver gros petit of Henry II, ca. 1285-1324
Medieval Croatia (Ragusa): silver grosso portraying St. Blasius and Christ, ca. 1372-1438
Papal States: silver testone of Pope Paul IV, ca. 1555-1559
Belgium (Liège): silver Ernestus of Ernest of Bavaria, 1582
German States (Saxony): silver thaler, "3 Brothers" type, 1596-HB, Dresden mint
Great Britain (England): silver crown of Charles II, 1679, TRICESIMO PRIMO edge, mint error
Great Britain: silver South Sea Company sixpence of George I, 1723; double-struck mint error
Spain: gold escudo of Charles IV, 1792-MF, Madrid mint
... and then the US stuff.
