1 Dollar "Morgan Dollar" 1893 S

Screams fake. If this coin is not certified by a major TPG and reputable dealer, AVOID like the plague. Being in a PCGS or NGC holder is just not good enough any more.
westcoin said it best ;)

Your story is sad and unfortunately, common. You need to be able to "help yourself". Here are the tools to get you started.
- Buy a digital scale. They can be had online for around $15 U.S.
- If you are buying locally, take that scale with you and weigh the coins. All of these replicas will be significantly underweight. The counterfeit Morgans I've encountered were around 22 grams. A real Morgan comes off the press at 26.73 grams and lose less than 1.5grams for a Good graded example. Anything under 25grams should be considered fake. Apply the same percentages to other denominations. Here's an extract from Coin Facts that tells you what the mint weight is for the examples you've shown, plus the silver content of genuine pieces.
- If you are purchasing online, make sure the seller has a return policy. Weigh the coins as soon as you receive them and contact the seller immediately if one turns out to be not genuine.




We are all saddened that you have gone done this path and may not be able to recover what you've invested. Use these tools, and those that I'm sure will be posted by others, to "right the ship".

Ive been colecting coins for 2 years now so I know a few tricks to tell if they are real or not!
