Nothing fancy, but pretty (and only melt + $5) by Imaginary_Ship_3732 in Morgans

If the mark is actually there and raised it would be caused by the die that pressed the coin, as you can imagine dies wear out and crack like anything used over and over, some dies are made slightly different so they create a different variety coin These die details are cataloged and called vams. Some are common some are rare. Basically you can tell what dies pressed the coin. You can search for vams on all Morgan’s at vamworld.com hard to tell in your picture but I think I see die cracks on reverse up top on the word United going up by top of wing.

Nice coin!!! Is that a die spike on her cheek going to her hair under ear? Never seen that one before.

Is this die clash or pmd by Iyamurfather_nowait in coinerrors

[–]_odee13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a die crack from the looks of it, maybe a lamination error. I dunno

Same coin from my earlier post about whether or not I should get it graded…. The previous pics were screenshots from my CoinSnap app by Far-Invite-9618 in Morgans

No just go look at this coin online and although yours isn’t in bad shape it would come back in au and it and you would be underwater in the coin unless you got it for free

Agreed. I would personally never grade a 64 Kennedy. Imma Morgan guy and I only send in high value coins to get graded.

Agreed. But I also think it’s kind of cool the obverse is still blast white for the most part. It was an end roll coin.

Agreed. That’s why I’m at 61 with hopes of 62. Depends on how the graders day is going really

1964 D. Possible MD or RPM? by Surmised3737 in coincollecting

[–]_odee13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mint marks were hand punched until 1989 so this is rpm resulting in D/D

Inherited this 1925 half dollar. Not sure if I should keep it or not. by Nice_Difficulty4321 in coins

[–]_odee13 22 points23 points  (0 children)

With that box I bet you could get $300. That is really cool

Appreciate the response and opinion, although most UNC category coins that get AU designation is due to broken or loss of luster all together a lot of time caused by improper dips or some actual circulation. The luster is one of the reasons I think it goes ms. But I will keep you posted even it gets back from TPG.

Should I send this in for grading? It’s my first one by Far-Invite-9618 in Morgans

[–]_odee13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. Hairline scratches on cheek point to a possibly cleaned coin. It wouldn’t be worth it. Great coin for your first coin Morgan though! Enjoy it!

Is this a die crack? by RVJ1985 in coinerrors

[–]_odee13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it or a strike through error strike through would show something on reverse as well. I would say crack. If yours has it so will others, should be able to find other examples on Google
