To those of you who have been saying the obv and reverse are incorrect, that's because they are counterfeits of a pattern coin J1315. See:

Oh, they are definitely real, where real refers to reality.

They are just not authentic.

Man, there is always one in every crowd... So, is this forum "real" or is it just a bunch of electrons on a metal disk, and random streams of electrons skipping across a copper wire creating a random design on a collection of liquid crystals on my desk?

Holey cow!
The 6 Morgans for 75.00 BIN...
Check his 'completed listings'.
He has already sold 3 sets of 6!
There are 3 of those auctions with buyers.

ahh come on, are you telling me you don't think these are real either? http://cgi.ebay.com/U-S-Liberty-Dol...es_W0QQitemZ160269399256QQihZ006QQcategoryZ11977QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I mean come on, just because the design wasn't even on a coin in 1865 doesn't mean it isn't real

Are we back to the "real vs authentic" arguement?

John Flanagan was born in 1865. he must have been quite the prodigy to design those dollars!

LOL...I picked up a couple of these " Trade dollars" at the flea market (knowing full well that they were fake...I just wanted to have a couple examples of them...plus they were cheap)...also picked up a " Morgan dollar" from the same guy. They don't even come close to the correct weight (these fakes weight like 17.5grams where real ones should be 26+grams or something like that). Oh, and like everyone else has been saying, the design is totally off...both obverse and reverse.

Another funny note...one of the " Trade dollars" I picked up was from the 1700s, with the same design as those from the 1800s! lol...

I have to admit I thought of the meeting of the long-lost Chance brothers: None meet Slim; Slim, None.

Another set of 6 Morgans has sold to a US dealer!
I keep reporting these to ebay... Why don't they pull
auctions?!?

To their credit, they did pull the Trade dollars and "Liberty" Dollars.
