stvnnvts999 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 02/02/2024 1:36 pm I found this coin in the cull bin at my LCS. I didn't realize until I got home that something weird is going on on the rim. At first I was a little upset because I thought they sold me a fake but it literally has all the bells and whistles of a real Morgan. It passes the ping test, it sounds like silver whenever I clank them together with my other cull Morgans in my hand, is passed the magnet slide test with my neodymium magnets, the strike looks authentic. Nice high VF/low XF details. It weight slightly overweight for what a Morgan is supposed to be. Probably due to the extra material on the rim. Does anybody know what the heck this is?
