Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 6:04 pm I'm not too good at grading but has anyone else noticed the mint mark? Or where the mint mark would be? Because it looks like an "I" or an "E" which is impossible! Report this Post to the Staff
TheKroe Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 6:07 pm My apologies! It's an S mint mark. I should have included that. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 6:10 pm Thank you for the mint mark information! To me, it certainly doesn't look like an S. Report this Post to the Staff
TheKroe Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 6:12 pm I agree haha. The image doesn't give the S the Justice that it deserves. Report this Post to the Staff

Imag8r Valued Member United States 227 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 9:31 pm How do you tell this coin was cleaned? How reliable is the magnet test and any other ways to tell a fake —thanks Report this Post to the Staff
MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 9:58 pm If you want to buy from pawn shops try to find the ones that are more interested in moving inventory quickly. If you're willing to buy up a large portion of incoming inventory, you should be able to get common morgans for around $17. We're judging it as cleaned from the pictures you provided. Looks like it was scrubbed. Also, A better test for authenticity is the magnet slide test. Just google it and you can pull up youtube videos. Weighing it would help but the pawn shop would have already done that and if they do any significant metals business they probably have a metal composition test device. Report this Post to the Staff
