This 21 year old teller is aware that this is a one in a billion chance. MUCH more likely is it is from the "No-No" site. |

 Hopefully not from the No-No site.... Either way he'd only be out $1.. |

These fake dollars do end up in teller trays from time to time, and it won't be the first time it was a key date.

Alright, finally, I have photos. After 2 1/2 weeks and many boxes of popcorn devoured in anticipation by the audience... Here they are:    Not a "Spitting Liberty".    And for the scratch on the reverse.  As described, one 1889 CC in AU-MS (60 at highest IMO) After reviewing a few articles on VAMworld, I believe it is genuine and may be a VAM 2. Although I don't see doubling on the "1". I will leave that for the more knowledgeable collectors here. The owner is considering having the coin graded and auctioned on Heritage too. I apologize for the delay, some unavoidable things happened, but here it is. Comment away please and I will answer anything I can except details of the coin's location. I also placed the coin in an Air-Tite after the photos. |

I hope it's real, looks really well faked if not. only thing that stands out is the two stares appear different sizes on reverse. Is this normal? No expert by any means...just my observation, wouldn't know what else to look for. Back to PC... |

I'm certainly not a Morgan expert but, it looks good to me. I can add that it is definitely not MS. Most likely, it will get a details grade. Still pretty awesome if real! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Looks good to me, but I am not a Morgan guy. Will have to wait to see the consensus.

Also there's extra metal on the wing.

Also looks like there's tool marks on the first C on the mint mark.

Im not too sure, but what would worry me are the denticles above and below liberty, they are very uneven and look odd to me
