Welcome to the forum. It appears your Morgan is in a bezel. You could try to remove it, but you would have to be really careful not to damage the coin.

Congratulations! Nice find.

This seller so fantastically pumps up the contrast on all his coins photos that what you see in his listings simply does not exist. The curves of the photos are horribly screwed with. “Juicing”, “juiced”, and similar words are MEANINGLESS. I've read them far too often. Use correct terminology. Or is it “an Internet thing”? Show me where juiced is defined this way.

Cranking up the contrast and exaggerating the color are precisely what is meant by the term “juiced.” It may not be the correct terminology, but it is popular internet terminology, especially when referring to enhanced pictures of coins.

The reason the "C" and "E" of "CENT" look normal is because they are upside down. You can tell that the "N" is backwards, though, because that letter doesn't look the same upside down as it does right side up.
Hold the reverse of a memorial cent upside down, and then imagine what it would look like if you could see through it from the other side, or imagine what design a piece of clay would show if the coin were pressed into it upside down. It would match the lettering on the OP's coin.

Sure. Great idea. I’ll finish sorting these rolls to achieve the greatest range and post again soon.
Excellent! Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Very interesting circulation find.

Yes that is correct. Most look like the photo posted…some have a slightly less prominent crack but still noticeable.
100 and counting. Only half way through box of 50 rolls.
I don’t know if you have the time or the inclination to do it, but a picture montage showing the progression of the crack from the earliest stage to the latest would make for a very interesting thread.

That’s the guy. The fields on his Morgan’s always look almost black, with that orange streak through them.

Yes Denver Coins, aka (or may still be used) Canyon City Coins, and I think there may have been another name this seller has used in the past on ebay.
Is this the same guy that juices the pictures of his Morgan’s to the point that they look almost like a painting of a coin?
-
Are you saying that you found over 100 coins showing various stages of the same die crack?

Board member "Coinsarefun" has an example of this token .

It's nice to see a '43 that doesn't look like it's been stripped and replated. Would you mind showing a picture of the edge?

Thanks. I'm always on the hunt for new reference material. I was hoping to pick up a few lots in the recent Heritage auction of Eric P. Newman's personal papers and research, but the lots that I was interested in went for very strong money. Hopefully we'll see some accurate and informative articles and books come out of all of this research material that is now in different hands.

Sad to say, I'm not familiar with these auctions. Can you post a link?

Looks XF, judging from the photos. If the lack of detail I see is from strike weakness or is just a figment of my imagination, and the coin is MS, I don't think it will grade above 64. I can see enough dings on the rims to keep it from going any higher.

I'm done. I tried.
Good luck.

Not an error. Just a stamp that someone applied after it entered circulation.

There’s no regular circulated Buffalo with a square sharp rim like that only Proof Buffalos.
You are correct that most of these business strike nickels have a thin, sharp or somewhat rounded rim when they are uncirculated, but, if you look at nickels (or pictures of nickels) that are very worn, like your coin, you will find that many of them have rims that have been worn flat and have a square appearance the same as your coin. If you submit this coin to NGC for authenticating as something special, it is going to be another expensive lesson (hopefully) learned.

what I meant by pooling of die is that you see how the point toward the end of the A is rounded? That is what I mean. It isn't pointed like the rest, hence my observation.
(I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the two crying emojis when quoting your previous post, so that is why they are still there.)
I see what you are talking about with the right leg of the "A." That is likely the result of either die erosion - something that we might be able to determine if we had a clear picture of the entire reverse - or a tiny die chip. Either could cause the misshapen end of the letter.
-
OP, would you please explain what you mean by "pooling of die?"
Your coin is definitely not a "close AM," by the way. The gap between the letters is too wide, and the position of the designer's initials and shape of the "G" are unmistakable indicators of a "wide AM" variety.

Which of these Coins is a Better Purchase for a Newbie?

The newbie section is not for listing coins that you are selling. Also, trying to disguise your selling post as a question is deceptive. Posts like this definitely won't earn you any respect on this forum.
The Marketplace forum is the proper place to put posts like this.
