Awjinator New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/20/2025 5:13 pm This Morgan dollar was given to me a few years ago by a family member. I noticed that the mintmark does not look like any of the other "O"s that other Morgan dollars have. Is this some type of rare variety or is this just a counterfeit? Apologies for the lighting.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 03/20/2025 5:53 pm Definitely a counterfeit coin. Look at your date against the real thing. The 1 and 4 don't look anything like they are supposed to. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

I did suspect it to be fake when I started to research even more. Luckily it was not something I bought or someone bought for me. Report this Post to the Staff
