Facts:
This is the most rare Morgan Dollar, and the most altered date and mint of the series. One should learn the diagnostics for authenticating this before purchasing a raw specimen. Otherwise, buy one that is already graded and authenticated by a top tier grading service. Remember, if you see one, in any grade, being sold for a lot less than $2,000, then be weary of the sale.
