goodkarmarising Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 07/12/2016 09:23 am These are being offered up fairly cheap (10 for $150) on a local sale page and they look fake to me, what do others think? I still have a lot to learn about Morgan and Peace dollars. Report this Post to the Staff

Atlas642 Pillar of the Community United States 562 Posts	Posted 07/12/2016 09:47 am I think they're all fake. They all have the same dull luster many fakes have. On the ones with the reverse showing, the eagles all have smooth, detail-less chests. Plus, add the price and the fact that they are all the same date and mint mark. I'd stay away.

nss-52 Moderator United States 54282 Posts	Posted 07/12/2016 10:19 am I agree they are all fake. They all have the same wear on the ear, and they all have a flaw (indicated in green) in the photo below.
