Re: Great Top 100 VAM won on eBay
Watched a tape about 1830's US coinage where they claimed the pitting was due to the die literally detiorating and falling apart, not rusted. But for Morgan dollars, the claim is Rusted dies from water/moisture laying in the die. That's why it only appears on the reverse and never on the obverse. -

Re: Struck thu (Clashed) 1913 Type 1 Buffalo
I was just about to comment on the odd appearance of the marks under the chin. Normally you can decipher some of the letters of EPU, but this looks different on your coin.
