I have been looking for this coin for a while and once I finally got it I found a couple so this one is now a spare. I am offering it for $400 shipped to you. Please let me know if you have any questions on the coins. Nice coin for what seems to be a pretty hard coin to come across.

The vertical lines you see on the reverse in the UNITED and in the fields are on the coin. Dont know what they are, maybe a vam worth millions. I think the scan show them more than the coin itself but they are there.

VERY NICE COIN...INTERESTING LINES ON THE REVERSE.

WHAT IS THE KEY DIAGNOSTIC ON THIS REVERSE????

The lines are either roller marks or die polish lines, but I'd go with roller marks.

The flat and not angled arrow feather on the topmost arrow in the eagle's talons.

I think they are planchet flow lines, I am not sure pcgs will grade with roller marks that severe, although it seems to be a 64 without them

The flat (straight) arrow, square breast on the bird, and the small S. The arrow is easy to see the others dont seem as easy. When you hold it up to an 1878 coin you can see the difference in the breast but it is very hard to describe.

As far as the lines, others here have already given more info than I ever knew about.

Thanks for looking!!

I may be interested if you still have the coin this weekend. Spent some cash at the last auction and I need to recover first.

blu62vette · January 30, 2007 10:05AM

Thanks for the interest and let me know this weekend. I also have a huge scan of the reverse if anyone needs it. It is five megs so I wont post it here but can add a link.

Todd.

Daily bump......

the lines on the reverse are die polish.

You'll see this on almost any 1878 S Morgan
