Hello, Can you help me, to determine this coin. I have this coin from years, but I wonder it's original or not. Thanks in advance.      |

 The odds are against you but I'm cheering for you to have an authentic coin.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Definitely a fake. Wear patterns on Morgan dollars are fairly consistent. In this case, that's the first thing that stands out as wrong. After that the date, lack of detail, and other small hints give this away. |

Sorry to say but it's a Chinese cast counterfeit.

Welcome to Coin Community, Nely. Unfortunately, your coin is a counterfeit. The easiest indicator is the date - the numerals are wrong both in configuration and position. Only one obverse die was used for this issue, and that had a date farther to the right than yours does. The digits are irregular and inconsistent, completely unlike the real version of this coin.

1,000,000% fake. Date is completely wrong, mintmark wrong, details wrong, and it is missing the die marker in T in Liberty.
