    That's nearly the same as looking, but you forgot the two little M's that Morgan put on there.

    TRICK QUESTION!! I forgot about the designers initial "M!"

    You forgot about the designer's initial "M" on the reverse.

    Correct Answer: 64

    EDIT: I see Ricko beat us all.

    PS What about doubled dies?

    On a 7 tail feather, 8 tail feather, or 7/8 tail feather?

    (I'm just trying to confuse you. ;) )

    I knew there was an M on the truncation of the bust. Next time I'm looking at a Morgan dollar I'll have to search the reverse to find the second M. :D

    RE: "Using just "United States", as an example....there are 725 scrabble words that can be made using those 12 letters."

    Using all of the available letters, could someone write a coherent 200-word paragraph using them? OR --- maybe an article about Morgan dollars....? :)

    The OP did not say “different,” so 64 is the correct answer.
