And, if not, what's going on with the (reverse) rim?

Potential POP-OUT Morgan Dollar

    I don't see anything out of the ordinary?

    I dont see anything unusual other than poor photos taken at an angle putting the coin in shadow slightly.

    No. The coin was photographed at terrible angles and also likely with a cheap lens...IMO.

    What's a "Pop-Out Dollar"?

    You guys aren't seeing the rim separation on the reverse? It appears to either be a magician's coin or an opium dollar of some type.

    I know Trade dollars were generally used but I've seen Columbian halves and Morgan dollars also used.

    I see what you're talking about, but I think it's just an optical illustion because of the tilted photos.

    A real coin is struck in a die to push out a new design that is three dimensional. Popular in the late 19th century as souveniers and for the jewelry trade, these were made in various sizes from dime to dollar sizes. Do an e-Bay search for "pop out" is see various examples.

    Follow the line clockwise though , it doesnt waver and goes right around past 4 o clock on the coin as it would do. Exciting coin for sure , i don't think i'd have been able to pick that one out.

    image The OP is thinking it is an opium dollar, not a Pop-Out dollar, which are two different things. Here is a link to a pop-out dollar.
