Oh Boy this sure beats a rubber chicken as what a great coin to clip on for shows. Seriously it's a real shame as it was once a nice maybe 1883 or 1892 from the New Orleans mint and worth 5 figures w/o damage. Not bidding on it so I'd figured I would share... figure it will still bring a couple of grand from a non love token collector so it will be fun to track. Enjoy!

30% Off Center New Orleans Morgan Dollar

O-Mint Morgan Dollar--30% Off Center--Uncertified. Struck widely off center toward 6 o'clock, with the date off the flan. Made into a pinback with reverse solder at 3 and 9 o'clock. Hairlined and glossy with steel-gray and sea-green toning. The highpoints show only light wear. The surfaces display minor marks typical of indifference storage. The unstruck portion of the obverse has been engraved by a professional hand, and displays the initials PET. Although impaired, the present piece is a desirable mint error. Noticeably off center Morgan dollars are very rare. Most off center coins from this era are Indian cents.

    Beautiful error. Did anyone here end up getting it?

    Good estimate since it hammered for $2,990.00.
