Hello,

Can anyone help me with this coin? There seems to be lettering between " STATES OF AMERICA" and " IN GOD WE TRUST" and again between "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the the top of the eagles head.

Thank you.

could be a die clash, but there would be no lettering there. If a clash, you would get the backwards image of the Morgan Head.

Just some marks that have occurred after the coin was minted.
Dollar looks to be well circulated so could be from anything.
Certainly no way letters were added during the minting process.
Sometimes your mind plays tricks and you see what you want to see.

Yes, I now see something, but the font and size of what's there didn't come from a Morgan die. It's not something that could happen during the minting process.
