Who has the other half of my 1893s morgan?

I just picked this up so who has the obverse of the 1893s?
Ok, so I am dreaming that this was an 1893s before someone chopped it in half. Let an old man dream. π
FYI: it only weighs 11.77gms.

Wow... Well, one can dream... I wonder what the backstory on that one is... Cheers, RickO
I'm guessing the obverse was ground down to make a love token or similar which was never completed.

This is my 1893 head scratcher. I recently found a die marker for an 1893 S on the coin and have sent it out for verification. It's a slim possibility, maybe I will get lucky.
We could glue them together and maybe have a better chance at having an 1893 S Morgan.

I believe the best I can hope for a PO1 1893 s with a detail of damaged and P01. I can live with that.![:D :D](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/lol.png)

The half coin appears to be dated before 1886. SF had a habit of re-engraving the leaves in the wreath opposite ON in ONE, and this looks like it might have been re-engraved. They were told to stop in 1881 when they got busted for doing it on $5 and $10 pieces, but kept on doing it on dollars for a few years.

If only..
There were only 2 reverse dies used for the 1893 S. Yours doesnt appear to me to match either if you compare the mint mark location and orientation.

let an old man dream itβs a 1893s. π
My dreaming also includes coin silver utensils from the civil war. I love telling people this is what an 1851 liberty seated dollar looks like in spoon or fork form. π

Lucky is if it is verified that it is a 1893 s morgan, Even though it's damaged severely it would make my thirty five dollar investment well worth the price. If it's not verified it's still worth almost thirty five dollars spot.![:) :)](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
