1880 Morgan error?

#1 Unread post by LDM1830 »

I have an 1880 Morgan that is missing the words "In" and "We" from transverse. Mint error? Stamp error? Not sure what to think.

Looks like the letters are removed intentionally after the coin was minted.

That's what I thought too. Guess I'll need to ask a pro to look at it. Was in a sock on my Dad's collection.

It’s caused by being struck through a filled die but the coin circulated so it looks artificial. Some of these are vams or die marks for varieties. You can search vamworld.com
