coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 11:27 pm After going through more of my Father in Laws things today I found this Morgan. He had been a coin dealer for years and this may be real but I am not 100% sure because I normally am suspicious of any high dollar coin. I'd appreciate some feedback. I know the scans may not be great but I will have to try and take some actual picts soon.Coin does have more luster than the scans show. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 2:21 pm I agree; the coin is a fake. The date alone is a big give-away. A real US Minted Morgan has much more uniform numbers. For comparison: Report this Post to the Staff

coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 08/29/2011 8:30 pm Yeah it's gotta be a fake as I just got a scale and it's almost 2 grams more than a Morgan is supposed to. Guess I know why my Father in law had it pulled aside. Oh well guess I'll have to buy a real one lol. Report this Post to the Staff
