Greeting all I have an 1879 Morgan silver dollar Philadelphia and on the reverse it looks like a strong spitting eagle or a strikethrough there are similar smaller marks below the o and f. And I'm pretty sure it's not the reverse of the 1878. Because of the round breast and the diagonal arrow. Also behind the eagles head are some small half circle marks I don't know if this is postman or from minting. On the obverse does the eight look doubled I know the one eight and seven is an error if doubled and there appears to be small die chips there too. Can somebody provide me with a site to check on these I've been searching and I just can't seem to find one thanks everyone   |

This has to be a joke. Helen Keller can see this is counterfeit.

Yes,  with the above, but compare your "1879" to one of my definitely genuine 1879 Morgan dollar, and the differences are very much obvious  Hope this helps    (My lighting is a bit strange, so my coin came out with a slight yellow tinge...) |

Take a lesson out of this one. There are so many red flags here. The more you read and learn about Morgan's the better you'll get at it. Never buy until you are absolutely certain you're looking at a real deal Morgan. Don't get disheartened, just take the time to read and learn.. Good luck!
