twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 12/12/2014 10:35 pm It looks like a 1921 S Rev. and no question its a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/13/2014 3:10 pm Yeah, using a reverse that wasn't designed until 31 years after the date on the obverse is a pretty good clue that your Morgan is a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 11:53 am Do I see a CC Morgan? By CC, of course, I mean "Cast Counterfeit" Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 12:05 pm Oddly enough, one usually sees this 1921 reverse on Carson City fakes. That may be just due to their greater value when counterfeited though. Report this Post to the Staff
