hipis New Member Poland 17 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 5:20 pm Hi. I got 4 Morgans. Three from 1921 and one 1896. So now I have 1921 26,79g, 26,74g and 26,71g, 1896 26,75g, 1878 26,69g and 1890 26,60g. Of course home scale. I'm confuse ... I read a lot of posts about chinese fakes, Weight Tolerance etc. I know there were a lot of stamps so coins can be a little bit different. Circulation... But how can I be sure I have real Morgans? 1978 is 1878-P VAM-84A as I know and maybe 1890 is ok (I presented photos two days ago on forum). But the rest? Report this Post to the Staff

hipis New Member Poland 17 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 5:41 pm Good to know. But when I read about very good chinese , sorry:), I'm starting to worry. It's not about silver or value but a real history in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 5:49 pm What you have read about good Chinese fakes is probably all true. They're very capable counterfeiters. Heck, Chinese fakes of purer silver than the originals have been found. This is not meant to cause you panic, but to inspire healthy skepticism. Report this Post to the Staff
