Yes, it seems to go right into the wing gap.

It does look raised, but i think someone will have to see it in hand to confirm it.

You might be right, have you seen any pups that look anything like it?

It is raised and goes down into the wing though and otherwise is an almost flawless coin,

Picked this beautiful PL 1880 large S with this wicked scratch I think in wing gap. You can see it easily on full coin but its giant and it does not seem to show in any listings. While Im still digging in the listing looking I was wondering if anyone with more knowledge can explain this mark. Is thi...

A quick, unscientific survey of submissions to me over the past year shows the Southeast being represented most often.

That makes sense, Im from NYC and split time in the south east and it seems like everyone down there is from up here lol

Extremely interesting ! My head may explode before I can truly grasps this sacred geometry lesson , but thank you just the same .

AMEN

I see, so anything on third denticle is pretty much normal. I was looking at another area of 101 about c3 with images got me turned around. Thanks

I am studyiong date placements and could use some help from a more knowlegeable member. While studying up about date placement, I ran into two 1900 P's that looked like far dates. Weird that no far dates are noted so, I began thinking maybe Im wrong and went back for more but the dates do look far c...

Are ebay buyers clueless? Yes. And so is 98% of the rest of the population. I'll spare you my theories on how this came about. But notice the "food" in the carts of grossly overweight people at the grocery store. Look at the big homes a young couple will purchase just to keep up appearances. Notice...

Ha ha ha well put, i see those sales and take advantage every chance I get when I see an obvious raw vam selling for low $$. I used to sell on ebay 20 years but refused to bend knee letting them play with my $$. So now all those fools that sell for less and and china fakes can have fleabay

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

PMD is a heart breaker

IMHO They use this grading scale for comics (cards too) and I think it works good, although just as subjective. I think in this case a coin with heavy bag marks but is actually uncirculated graded an AU (because of marks) would fair better (9.0) BUT to change a grade scale after millions of coins ar...

Im not scared lol Im still real green with the sport though but, Im learning fast what to look for. Im going to post my best pick yet and I will admit was pretty much luck since I was still new to vams but as I started digging and saw the signs of the EDS, I was pretty excited. I know I wont get ric...

Yes, that great article by JT Stanton posted at top was a great help. It is my first strike doubling I encountered. I will be sending this coin for grading soon so I look forward to seeing where this coin actually falls in the new listing. So far Im at the v1A MDS stage (I think)so we will see if it...

Yes, with no clash. I got that

I'm attempting to post items of interest to Morgan and Peace dollar collectors. These are more about how and why, rather than varieties.

Love it, thanks so much, all good stuff

That makes total sense, so I guess this coin will be the Guiney pig LOL I will send it right over so YOU can tell me which one it is he he he

Excellent point, certainly caused me some confusion, i was struggling trying to understand it but you said it perfectly. So im going to classify my morgan as a 1A MDS with a strike double. At least until JB lets us know
