Any other info you can instill into my head will be greatly appreciated. There is no red on the coin; my camera is red (bright red! LOL) that red on the pic is the reflection of the camera.

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 4:54 pm Hello. Both are genuine Morgan dollars. The dark color on the 1880 looks kind of weird, but perhaps it's just the lighting. It does appear to have been wiped at some point (see cheek). The 1890 has been cleaned and exhibits subsequent toning. Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 5:13 pm Yeah, sometimes pictures don't convey the true appearance of a coin, but in this day and age it's good for you that they're simply genuine. Many come to this forum with a family heirloom coin only to find out that it is fake. At least you've got the real deal. Edited by Darth Morgan 03/05/2017 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
littlecoin New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 5:32 pm INdeed! My friend and his parents are very nice people who collected coins, stamps and Americana memorabilia for emotional value. Very genuine people. I trust them with my life particularly because they were nearly as OCD as I am! I ask just to triple check and because it's nice people like them that get scammed sometimes. ty so much!
