SilverTracker Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 05/04/2014 9:50 pm Going to look at some 1921 raw Morgans on Tuesday. Is this particular date counterfeited a lot? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

But if you're asking if 1921 morgans are counterfeited, YES. They are. All dates of Morgans have counterfeits. Heck, you could probably find a 1895 MS Chinese counterfeit out there.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/04/2014 10:43 pm 1921 Morgans are infrequently counterfeited because there's a nominal numismatic premium associated with them. This means the profit in turning out a phony lies in skimping on or omitting the silver content. So a fake will usually be underweight or have a ferric composition, so when you go, provided it's not going to offend the seller, your protection would be to take a scale and also see if a magnet sticks to them.

As long as you're comfortable with knowing what they should look like (knowing the differences of the 1921-only design), you'll be OK. I've seen 1921 counterfeits, but no really convincing ones to the educated eye. Doesn't mean they don't exist, but I've never seen one. Report this Post to the Staff
