slicks oh wise ones please educate me. I recently bought a batch of low grade morgans at a good price.two of these coins are so worn out you can barley see the obverse portrait and the reverse is so smooth that there is no relief at all.no dates.these now may be my favorite pocket pieces simply because of the unknown history of millions of people passing them around the country. I've heard that morgans were used in vegas in the slots,if so how many times would a coin have to pass thru a slot machine to wear away to nearly nothing?I wonder how many times they were won?and at what point would a merchant refuse to accept such a coin as payment simply because the AG content was light? how did these coins get SO worn down? also bought loose from the same coffee can of old change is an 1809 capped bust half with a tiny inscription across the worst part or the front that says "tom x hannah 1809". is it genuine?thecoin is I dont know about the declaration of love But its a dammed cool thing to have and think about.I paid $60 for this coin,probably not the best deal but oh well.
