Found this near a softball field at a high school that was built in 1997. Right on the surface. :dontknow:

I thought it had to be a big piece of jewelry because it was banging 99 and right at the surface. Started to pry it up and saw the face. Fell forward onto my chest and just marveled at it. Never expected a Morgan, especially like this.

Pretty sure it is either an 1878 or 1879 S. Pro was lighting up at 98-99. Thanks for looking! HH!

I know. I find myself being disappointed with the wear on it but then I just remember how crazy it is that it turned up at all. HH!

I will bet you a Morgan Dollar that thing was a pocket piece! If you can get that thing into a PO01 PCGS/NGC slab, might be worth a few bucks for the lowball collectors. BTW, congrats!

WOW...I've never seen a Morgan so worn before. Most of the time they are barely circulated. Awesome find!
