Copper Penny Connection Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 2:29 pm I can't pin point it, Maybe the date, but something seems off to me about this one. If it is real, Its a very nice find. F details due to rim ding and deep obv and rev scratches. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 2:34 pm Hi, you need the big experts here to evaluate this one because it's one of if not THE most faked morgan. I have some questions about the word "god", the mint mark and the 9. Let's see what others say Report this Post to the Staff
Copper Penny Connection Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 2:39 pm It appears to me that if indeed fake, Weight wont be a factor on this one. Looks to be struck in 90% coin silver which will make it on par with your normal weights. Report this Post to the Staff
91o_collector Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 2:55 pm Not an expert, but from the die cracks (especially at the date and eagle's right wing tip)and clashing, I would venture that it is real and is a VAM 2 - 2a if the letter transfer is present. *** But it is possible they are getting good at making fake VAMs also.....

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 3:03 pm with 91o as this being a legit VAM-2A. I can also make out the die crack from the rim to the letter S in Pluribus. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 4:01 pm Ya I thought VAM 2 after I looked as well but thought the mm looked larger. I guess from wear flatening. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7652 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 4:06 pm Nice fine condition coin. The rim ding might get it a NET grade. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16681 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 5:19 pm I'm stuck between VG10 and F12 but I'm also a conservative grader. Appears legit. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Necer149 Valued Member United States 457 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 5:20 pm F12. Nice example of this key date. Your grandfather had a good taste in coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3190 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 5:27 pm thanks guys. I don't think he was much of a collector, just saved what he could. These coins have been stored in a small sewing case for many years. Report this Post to the Staff
