Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 9:21 pm I'm learning how to spot the fake morgans. Is it the general lack of sharpness we see in the lettering that is giving this one away? Please discuss how you are determining any other clues.

Also, there are some other clues that determine it is fake. A Morgan dollar should weigh 26.73 grams. This one is below that by a substantial amount, which is a red flag. The design of the coin is also off. The devices don't look quite right when compared to a legit Morgan dollar. In some cases the coin just doesn't look right. Report this Post to the Staff
