A recent acquisition—
I won an auction on a Korean bullion investment/modern NCLT forum for 125,000KRW = $116.45 (6/10/2018), for 6 silver dollars, which makes it $19.40 for each coin:
Three morgans: 1881-O and 1921 both Unc, and a worn 1921-S
A Peace: 1923
and Two Chinese dollars: A Memento dollar and a 1934 Junk dollar.

I guess I was lucky as most people seemed to ignore this auction when I knew what they were..
They came in the mail today and this is the Memento dollar.
I've heard these have numerous varieties, and fakes too.
That said, IMO it doesn't seem to look fake to me.. but it's my first time having one in possesion so by no means am I an expert. Any thoughts/opinions would be happily accepted!

forgot to mention: there's some luster left on the coin.

looks legit to me and if I was asked to grade I'd say it would grade near AU58 +/- a grade. That would make it about a $100 coin on it's own, so you can pat yourself on the back for good deal!

I guess it really was a great deal! This alone pays up for the lot. Pat pat. ;)

Well done! I believe both coins are genuine. Should have just posted them in just one thread... Easily 100 dollar coins each.

gxseries-
Thanks for the verification! I was worried they might be good fakes, considering that I didn't spot anything especially suspicious. One of the best auction purchases for me as for how much I "made" from it. I will keep that in mind and post coins together in the same thread in the future. Thanks always. :)
