tatt2ed13 Pillar of the Community United States 557 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 4:38 pm Example of someone using photo shop to edit the first photo - Not a dead on match to the coins in the side by side photo . But just showing it can be done to back up bigfredds thought that someone may have edited the original photo .. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 9:03 pm For the record, I compared the two users the moment a coincidence like this appeared, days ago. I am reasonably certain it's not possible that they are the same person. The two photos, however, are similar to several decimal places. Had I been asked as one with reasonable knowledge of the digital photography process, I'd say they were the same coin. I am quite curious about this. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 9:46 pm Other than both coins are obvious fakes, they both have very similar, if not identical wear, damage and discoloration. The only difference I see is the rim damage at 12:30 on the darker example. The answer to the question of value - zero to most collectors.

litenin New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 4:26 pm The lighter looking pics are mine. I submitted them here and other forums to try and find some possible explanations. I have collected coins for years one way or another and this is my first mystery coin. Perhaps that is unusual perhaps not. My guess is someone at another forum re-posted my pic here also wanting to hear more possibilities not to start a conspiracy theory discussion! So far I have only got 2 or 3 opinions !?

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 6:41 pm The only two possibilities are a genuine Morgan with an altered date or a fantasy fake. There is zero chance it is a genuine 1870 since George Morgan did not even emigrate to the US until 1876. How much does it weigh? Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 05/02/2012 12:54 pm It's the same coin. Here are both photos: OP photo on top resized; and second coin with color saturation reduced and brightness increased. Report this Post to the Staff
