N H Ourso Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 .What I was really referring to was this O mm over an “S”. Original mm I an others see I meant was I think or believe I see the original mm under the edges of the O an it does appears to me as a possible S. Thesease photos were overlook the first time. Now I understand why others telling mel me iIm seeing things that I want to see I know that maybe true at times but there six people on my end here see the same what appears as a”S” with the serifs showing an “O” mm over S but whether or not this happen or not. But there that possibility it did happen. This coin has live most of its time in bank lockbox 94 years but I want to apologize for me not stating what I meant correctly regards Nere H Ourso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Same as before, just an ordinary New Orleans coin that has taken a hit on the mintmark. JT2 and Oldhoopster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N H Ourso Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Dear coinbuff I’m not talking about the deformed O mm I believe I see a mm behind it an O on top of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT2 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Coin buff is correct this is just an ordinary 84 - O. what you are seeing is probably a strike from anopther coin hitting it in the eject bin or fro rubbing around on it in a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) NH I do notice what appears to be the serif top right and bottom left of the O mm. Agree it has either had a hit damaging the O. But see if you can take it to an ANA dealer to look at it under a scope. You can submit it for grading if you want to spend the money on a varietal o/s mm and see what a TPG might say. But I don’t think it would be worth the expense. still a keeper though Edited May 4, 2022 by Mr.Bill347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) It's a damaged 1884-O (round O). The number of photos posted doesn't change anything. Further, VAMworld's variety listing shows no O/S variety for this year. Edited May 4, 2022 by RWB Alex in PA. and JT2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly submit the coin for authentication and grading. Be sure to specify the variety and pay the extra $18 (I think) fee. Members here will be interested in the results.

That knowledge is gained by listening, asking questions, and not by presuming you have answers, when you really have merely routine guesses.

Oldhoopster Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Morgan dollars have been studied and die marriages identified in minute detail. With the amount of scholarship that has been poured into this series over the last 50+ years, it's almost impossible that a major die variety was missed. You may believe you see "something", but you really need to take an objective look at it. Look at the following site and check all of the 1884-O and S mint reverses. If " you'se gotsta know" this will tell you http://www.vamworld.com/wiki/Home Also, don't forget that you're getting responses from collectors and numismatic researchers with decades of experience. These aren't people sitting at the end of the bar with questionable opinions, these are experienced numismatists. You can bank on a consensus response. Or you can keep arguing that you think you see something and alienate a knowledgeable group that could help you learn and grow in the hobby (one of whom has written numerous books on numismatics).

RWB Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Members here have a lot of honest, useful information, and offer it freely to new collectors. Those who post coins, ask for input, then offhandedly reject members' comments merely do themselves a disservice. Please remember that someone new to any specialty subject cannot have the knowledge that persons with years of experience have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
