I collect coins as well as detect, the two hobbies kinda go hand in hand. I purchased a small mixed lot of coins for 15$, sight unseen. The seller promised me several silver coins. I was a bit suprised by the quality of silver coinage. I did get some worn merc. rosies etc.. imagine my suprise when I unwrapped this beauty from the packing paper

I did consider that but I compared with all of the other Morgans that I have, and I do have a feww 1889's, and it's identical so I ruled it out as a copy. Oh, and the seller is an aquantence of mine from out of state. This was not an ebay purchase.
