Morgan Silver Dollar ?

Aye counterfeit collectors exist. :-)

Most of us are into contemporary counterfeits where there are some who are in to modern counterfeits (I'm into both).

Contemporary counterfeits can be worth a few dollars (common cast counterfeits in brass or copper) up to hundreds if they are a famous variety. Such famous varieties include Contemporary Capped Bust Counterfeits, Contemporary Seated dime Counterfeits, Henning Nickels, and "Micro O" 1896, 1900, and 1902 Morgan dollars (which even have their own VAM, they fooled enough people).

Moderns generally go and trade for "face value" (modern mass-produced Chinese counterfeits) to under $25 (but the upper end of that is only found for very convincing examples of key dates or rare varieties with high novelty interest). They also trade at melt if they are made of precious metal.

I'd need a closer look to tell you what it'd be worth; however, from what I can see I'd guess you're only looking at a few dollars at best.

RE: biggfred my coin ?

Any fotoshop whizzes out there who can adjust the pix on the right to look brighter, etc, like the left?

For the record, I compared the two users the moment a coincidence like this appeared, days ago. I am reasonably certain it's not possible that they are the same person.

The two photos, however, are similar to several decimal places. Had I been asked as one with reasonable knowledge of the digital photography process, I'd say they were the same coin.

I am *quite* curious about this.

The game is afoot!

What I'd like to see is one or both of the OP to step up to the plate and do some splainin, Lucy.

Can lucky bobby compare ISP addresses?

The only two possibilities are a genuine Morgan with an altered date or a fantasy fake. There is zero chance it is a genuine 1870 since George Morgan did not even emigrate to the US until 1876. How much does it weigh?

Let's see a photo of the reverse. I'd like to see what the reverse variety was of the "donor".
