j0b Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 11/17/2018 6:03 pm I was going through some Morgans that I am considering having graded when I came across this one. Have had some concerns with some of them due to the fact I purchased some through internet auctions Anyways, before I purchase a scale(need to anyways, I know), but was looking for some opinions on the possible die cracks? Picture doesn't show all but goes along the top of UNITED all the way down to ONE. But there is also one on the rim(also in the pic) which raises my true concerns. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 11/18/2018 02:00 am On CCF, a Morgan dollar is considered a Classic Coin, so I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention. Please review the forum section descriptions, so posts are made in the correct section. Report this Post to the Staff

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 11/19/2018 11:18 am My eyes are getting pretty old, but that arrow feather configuration on the reverse looks a lot like the 1921 configuration ... which would make this a Chinese counterfeit. A close-up of the arrow feathers is needed to confirm. Report this Post to the Staff
