ANACS-MS60

This is a Hot 50 Morgan.

20(formerly 1A) III2 20 ? C3a (Bar 6 Over 6) (185) I-4 R-6
Obverse III2 20? 6 in date has thick curved bar on right inside of lower loop that matches curve of left side of 6. A short tip also shows at right inside of upper loop that continues the left side of the first punched 6. A very large shift of the digit punch. Date at right edge of lateral position. Die chip at hair front.

This variety shows a vertical line in the loop of the "6" of the date. Researchers debate the source of the line. Many say it is a die gouge, including Leroy Van Allen. Others maintain it is a 6/4 overdate, including Walter Breen (#5645 in Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins). As a result, the coin was sold at very high prices as the only 6 over 4 date in the Morgan series and was sold with a letter from Breen declaring the coin to be a major find.

There is also a long vertical die scrtach in front of the eye, chips upper right inside the ear, and small but distinct scratches all around the ear.
