fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 07:45 am Tough one. I will say UNC details, altered surfaces - they don't look quite right. Could be the photography. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 09:50 am I agree with TypeCoin971793, this one looks suspicious. I don't like the pin holes in the surface below the eagle's wing on the left side and I'm seeing casting bubbles in the hair recesses directly below the ear. My guess is this one was made in China.

lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 11:22 am I don't think it's not genuine (but I'm not sure about that) but maybe the dirt on the coin with bad lightning and some reflective fields made the first pics bad. Here are some other pics. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 07:25 am I'm not seeing the usual indicators of a cast coin. However, the edge should be checked for any evidence of a mold line and weighing this Morgan would also help for a determination. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 10:39 am Second set of photos is much better. I will say AU-58 and almost certainly genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
