That that kind of shine, I'd worry too...however, the fakes that I have seen are a duller "white metal" type of look and seem to be weakly stuck.
Congrats JangoFett!

I think it's real but has definitely been "whizzed". Most fakes have a very flat strike and a dull grey finish. Weigh it and you should find a 20-25% difference in weight if it's fake, although that's not a sure thing.

It is NOT fake. It is simply polished. Being it is an O, I would have snagged it too as long as it was cheap. I love the CC and Os.

I have a Morgan dollar that I bought for a couple bucks. I'm not sure if it's real or not? Here are the pictures: [URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/220/unled1on.jpg/]  [/URL] [URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/unled2ie.jpg/]  [/URL] Edited by Ximon

Unfortunately, I think that one is only good for putting under the table leg to keep it from wobbling.

Whytlash,thanks for your answer. Anyone else willing to comment? I would be happier with more answers as to is it real or fake.

I don't like how large the letters and the eagle's neck are, or the way the obverse rim looks ... I say it's fake, unfortunately.

I'd say that last one has about a 99.99% chance of being fake.
