The coin is very close in look to a known counterfeit. Known counterfeit is 90% silver and correct weight:  OP Coin:  Edited by Slider23

Look at the marks on the nose in front of the eye as the marks are in the same place.

Send it back, if you can. If its from ebay use buyers protection if seller gives you any problems. |

Does it stick to a magnet? If it does, it's fake.

Looks like a cast counterfeit - those always have a really mushy strike

I bought it in an antique dealer in Lebanon and thought it was my lucky day  I guess it wasn't. what do you guys think, should I waste more of my money and send it in to PCGS to make sure? or should I just throw it away in the pile of junk coins I have? because it passed the weight and it is the exact diameter and it past the magnet and drop test. it looks authentic and old like my other authentic morgans do. thanks for the help |

Sorry but it's definitely fake, so don't waste another cent on it sending it in.

The Chinese counterfeiter that made your coin makes three versions of the 1895 Morgan: a brass coin, plated silver, and 90 percent silver. It appears you have the 90 percent silver version with the correct weight and size. If your coin is 90% silver, it has melt value. I agree with edweather, do not waste any more money on sending it in.

Chinese charge about 38 bucks for the silver version counterfeit.
