Good evening gentleman.
Today, a very interesting specimen for you to examine, I'd like some opinions on.
I've gone to multiple coin dealers, and done lots of research online and can't find anything about this.
This leads me to thinking there remains two options: This Morgan is a beautiful one of a kind coin you dream of finding, or it's a complete fake/ bad counterfeit.
Some coin gurus I brought it to suggested it might be the original cast they used to make all of the other Morgans that year that the mint was never supposed to release?
I don't believe it's a counterfeit, how could anyone think this coloring would fool anyone? I'm not sure. It's also extremely detailed and shows lots of signs of aging and wear/tear. Maybe it's just a homemade paperweight from the 1800s?
I got this coin for free so I'm not really worried about it either way. However, it would be nice if this was a million dollar one of a kind original :)
Share your thoughts!
Some facts:
1.) Non-magnetic
