I bought this coin from some guy at a garage sale for $50, can anyone please tell me if I made a good buy? I put it on a scale and it weighs 25.51g

Is this a genuine Morgan dollar? This coin seems to be missing a lot of detail on both sides.

It should weigh 26.73 g. Along with the weak images as noted by nfine, I'm thinking that this is not a genuine coin.

I definitely agree. There is too much detail missing in the hair / LIBERTY / profile that couldn't have occurred through natural wear. Low weight is the clincher.

I know it's hindsight but check before you buy, you can get answers very quickly here on CCF, sad to say you got ripped off for 50$ - maybe the seller didn't know it was a fake either.

Definitely not genuine. Looks like a $3 flea market special.
