    I am not going to say any more until I see the whole coin if it is BU.

    It looks like the I in LIBERTY has a serif on the bottom left. The accent hair coin does not have one. Like Greenstang said the shot is to blurry to say for sure.

    Welcome back. How you doing.

    Nice, It has a date. Very cool. I am not sure how it would grade maybe MS 1/2FS

    I don't think there is a middle-class any more

    It would be nice to see the whole 1983 D coin both obverse and reverse if posable. I have a feeling it will show that it has Die Deterioration. I am still a bit confused on how that works of the strike of a type 2 over a type 1 coin ? Was the coin labeled that way on the sale?

    LoL ...No not a expert just a collector like most of the members here. When I said (double serif) it refers to a term used for the doubling of a device that I do not see on the ( A ) you posted. It looks more like damage than doubling. I also think the type 1 you have posted is of a coin from a newer die and your type 2 is from a older die.. Or vice versa .and the proof is a proof with a S not a D .Just my thoughts.

    Nice find. That would be a good one for a coin book. I put the best ones I find in a book until I find a better one to replace it.

    Welcome Wasaki , I agree with JT2 and Greenstang just a worn out die. I will say your scope takes very good pictures and it will more than likely make you think you have something when you don't. I roll hunt coins all the time and I use a scope also but only to enlarge the coin for my old eyes. That way I can see more coins in a shorter time span than I can with a loupe. I search on average 200 to 300 at a time. I spend about 3 seconds per side on a clean coin, junk coins less time and then I move on. If there is not a eye catcher I go on to the next coin. Also learning the key dates of coins to look for will save you a lot of grief. If it is not something that is collectable to someone it is just a spender. Good luck hunting

    Welcome nccc.....I agree with Sandon very worn die ,I also noted you are saying type 2 over type 1 if there was such a thing a Denver coin would not have a double strike or press. The A you have outlined looks more like a scratch than a double serif.

    Welcome . It is a nice looking coin. Maybe worth between 3 to $10 depending on the grade. It is hard to see in the bag. You may want to take it out of the plastics bag. It may have PVC ?

    Very nice

    I was so happy about the Morgan I almost forgot the nice nickels I got for the proof collection. I can't pass on these when they are so reasonably priced and I need them.

    Welcome , I don't see anything other than maybe some plating issue's.

    Four more to go. I have been hunting for a while for the last 5 of the low 90's Morgan's they are tough to find graded in my price range. The ones I find in the coin shops are all high retail and ungraded . Every time I find a good looking one at auction it jumps up to high. I got a break and this one came up. It was a lot better looking than many 1892 's I have seen. I think it will be a good coin for the set.

    I agree with Greenstang and Bob. It looks like a spooned coin . Someone was trying to make a silver ring.

    Perhaps something like. This is not a error. You can see where Lincoln moved his ear to the back of his head.

    Looks good Patman

    I want to add not all dealers are knowledgeable or seasoned collectors some are shopkeepers and salesmen. Don't be in a rush to take the first advice or offer.

    Nice looking coin for it's age.

    Very nice coin. Great information Mr-Spud thank for that. It looks like the coin has punch marks like it was being tested to see if it was real ?
