Hello Everyone,

Some of you may, or may not know, but I have been working on a set of Morgan Dollars by picking them up at the local Assay Dealer. I've been very fortunate, and have already got myself a wonderful collection going with many BU, and AU coins, and a few of the harder to find ones in lesser grades. None the less, I am having a rocking good time putting this collection together. Today, I found this one! Poor poor shape, but it still is a CC!!! image I am pretty proud of myself. Flipping that coin over and seeing the mintmark was a thrill!

Jeff

    That's a great find! Sounds like your having a lot of fun.
    Whenever I see an unrecognized cc morgan on ebay it always ends up that somebody else does too.

    What is an assay dealer?

    Even though the key PUPS are worn beyond recognition on the obverse, I can tell from the mm placement that you have a TOP 100 VAM 6 (Doubled Die Obverse). BONUS!

    Can you tell me more about this?!

    An Assay dealer is a dealer that buys and sells bullion. Hence, people come in sell there silver for a little less than spot, and I buy at spot! image Good times!!!

    The mint mark is set right and the top of the second "C" touches the bottom of the wreath.
    Many happy BST transactions
