Definitely, I learned a lot on here since making that post. What I learned is that most of the damage in my previous photos were simply coin roller damage. As I opened up more rolls of different coins this became a common theme.

I'm waiting on the digital microscope to arrive today, and if others would like I can post some more pictures. I also ordered a jewelers loupe, but that will not get in for a few more days. I think the consensus is just damaged.

I truly appreciate all the advice. Of course I would be over the moon to find some new error or variety, but I also realize the odds of that are very slim. It just makes me more excited to keep hunting. I'm positive that there will be a steep learning curve for me. When I began woodworking I used to think that pocket screwing everything together was fine woodworking. I then learned and practiced hand-cut joints. As my skills progressed so did my quality. I can see similarities with this hobby as well. Until then, I'll probably make some more posts that seasoned veterans will roll their eyes at but still offer objective advice to

I appreciate it. I should have a digital microscope tomorrow.

Thank you! Glad to be here. I don't know if I'm using the proper terminology, but what about the cuds in her hair in photo 1 and the cuds on the necklace on both reverses? I can understand indentions being post mint, but what about protruding areas like on her chin and coat that are not supposed to be there. I'm genuinely asking to learn as I am a green horn when it comes to all of this. I truly appreciate the knowledge base here.

I picked up a roll of Wilma Mankiller Quarters as well as a roll of Sally Ride. Almost the entire roll of Sally Ride had pronounced "ghost comets." I have 2 Wilma's that I'm not quite sure what I have. I cannot find other examples of a possible error that looks like a "starburst" to me. Pictures below for your consideration.

Thanks everyone for the advice and resources. I'm definitely going to keep them in the family.

My plan is to keep them. They hold too much sentimental value. My wife and I have had them almost as long as we've been married. I was just debating whether or not it would be worth it to grade them. I'll probably just get some holders for them and pass them on to my son when the time is right. I appreciate the input.

Hi everyone. I got a sorta interesting story behind these Morgans. When I was in the Army I was stationed in Kitzigen, GE for my first duty station back in 99. My wife accompanied me, and she took a position at a bank on base in Wurzburg. One day a German national whose father was an American brought in a box of Morgans and Walking Liberty's. My wife bought all she could with the money she had on hand and was going to get more money from the ATM before her lead teller took the box and exchanged the rest for herself at face value. I had forgotten about these coins until recently. I was shocked that someone would just exchange these coins at face value. Anyhow, we ended up with a 1882o, 1890cc, and 1902o. I've never graded coins before. What would y'alls recommendation be? Thank you.
