I posted this reverse "dot below wing" (D2c) a couple months ago.
Some new pics might get more interest . The dark lines around the ear are raised,
but with an eye loop appear as scratches. They are bright with reflected light. Also,
the inner ear does appear to be doubled even as the coin is rotated with a fixed light source.
It might also be an illusion caused by the 'scratches'
I did e-mail Leroy, but did not get a reply. Probably just lost . I will inquire again, but any additional input would be helpful.
The obv has heavy die polish marks betwen the left three and right three stars.
The most obvious difference about this obverse die is the 'dot' above the '2'.
The reverse has die polish marks vertically through the wreath, through 'trust', and left of the eagles neck.
I'm having fun with the camera and actually posting pics, thanks to other forum members.
Considering the strike, I'm wondering what others think the grade is. The only 'distraction' is all the die polish!

The coin looks every bit of 66 to my eye, but the milk spots might bump it down to 65.
In any event, a very pretty Morgan. Take care...Mike
The reverse is vam-9, 18. Just the obv is not a match.
