I have been on the hunt for the last three Morgans to finish my set.1893.94 and 95 Well I was able to find a good looking 1894 O VF35 without breaking the bank. Now down to the last two.

Very nice. It looks like an under graded PF CAM. This coin as a proof has medium relative series rarity with a mintage of 3200 and easily acquired in PF 63-65...  but if it was designated PF CAM it would rise considerably in value and rarity. Nice coin.

I had been looking for an 1802 over 1 dollar for several years. Although there are five die varieties of it, the coin does not seem to crop up frequently. There were quite a few in the Heritage auction that will close shortly, but I spotted this one at the rent Winter FUN bourse. It is an NGC graded AU-55.

The Bowers dollar book variety is BB 234. It is a die chip to the right of Ms. Liberty's eye which is a characteristic of the variety. I liked it because the overdate is very sharp.

Thanks Mike! I think it's probably under-graded and it definitely has cameo contrast, (back then IIRC they didn't designate cameo on 3c Nickels.) But I love those old holders with the gold 'embossing' and no hologram.

Reminds me of the days when I first started sending coins in for grading, so I'd be hard-pressed to send it in for an upgrade!
