First thing .. is to check to see if it is a real Morgan dollar.

From your pictures I am getting the feeling it is not.

A couple of easy checks are to weigh it ... in grams
And to see if it sticks to a magnet.
Rest in Peace

Appears to be a poor fake, I'm afraid.

Don't get your hopes up, this is a worthless modern Chinese reproduction.

First of all, It is a Morgan dollar, not a Liberty Head.
Second, sorry to say it is a counterfeit.
All you need to do is look at the date. There are other markers, but the date is the easiest to go by.
