Not sure, so I can't imagine a good reason to touch it. Unless its a cool VAM you need kakaratt77? |

I am trying to learn how to detect counterfeits, so I am going to give my opinion. To me the design of the coin looks real, but the coin looks over dipped making the color look incorrect.

Just ask the seller their opinion. Many sellers are happy to answer your questions or concerns. These folks sell a LOT of coins, which doesn't make them perfect, but their response (or lack thereof) might help with your decision.

Nothing hollers fake. Just a weird color.

Looks real, maybe poor storage. Acetone and maybe a quick dip might help that coin.

It looks real to me. At slightly over melt, if you can get that haze off, it might turn a profit, but why bother unless you're bored and want to experiment.

Looks genuine if odd. Price leaves no room - I'd pass.

I only buy uncirculated morgans. I'd pass on this one, but it probably is legit.

My best guess, is this Morgan was scrubbed with baking soda, and possibly dipped too long striping the luster off, the darker marks are just the original silver showing through where the coin was scuffed. Looks good to me as a bullion piece only, unless it's a VAM 10 (which it doesn't appear to be), no real collector value left. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
