BuffaloBuffoon Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 05/13/2011 12:33 pm Well I bought a lot of coinage of the Bay and they arrived today. I am so unsure nowadays of whats real and whats fake with morgans that this is going to be my last Morgan purchase. I need to learn more about spotting fakes but dont know where to look for up to date info about that. So here she is, links because I took such large pics. Weight is what has me concerned here. 26.31g. Just using a digital reloading scale. I dont know if weight is a good indicator anymore. It sounds like silver, but then again some fakes do too. Any help here guys would be appreciated http://www.4x4mayhem.com/images/Kan...100_7412.jpg http://www.4x4mayhem.com/images/Kan...100_7413.jpg http://www.4x4mayhem.com/images/Kan...100_7417.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

The 2 is a little funny, but that's characteristic of 1882's. The wear pattern is appropriate. Enjoy your (real) Morgan. Report this Post to the Staff

I would agree with you, though, about learning to spot fakes. Just because these are authentic doesn't mean your next purchase will be. ;) Report this Post to the Staff

BuffaloBuffoon Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 05/14/2011 9:54 pm I paid a little under spot for it because it was part of a lot. I love Morgans but buying them has been nothing short of nerve wrecking at times. Report this Post to the Staff
