Two great examples of a coin's beauty: one is lovingly worn, the other is sharp and new looking. And you got 'em below melt value to boot. Nice going!

There's something strange about the one on the left. The word LIBERTY is so pronounced, yet the rim is almost completely worn off.

That's just how they wear.

That's because LIBERTY is incuse (or cut into) the design rather than in raised lettering (relief). Typical of Morgan dollars.

It could very well be normal. I'm used to Barbers and the word LIBERTY is incused in about the same fashion, but it disappears at the first sign of wear. It could be that on the morgans, the word is incused deeper or protected better from adjacent design elements.
