livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 10:24 am Last year I started buying Morgan dollars. I like the clashed varieties. I am wondering if anyone has seen any fake clashed Morgans? The fakes I've seen on the internet are not clashed. If a Morgan is clashed is it less likely to be fake? Report this Post to the Staff

twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 12:02 pm I have seen fakes coming out of China that are clashed, so to your question....Yes their are Fake Morgan dollars that are clashed die types. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/23/2019 01:39 am Seems like two different questions - are they deliberately faking a specific known die clash, and are there fakes with accidental clashes. I would say no and yes, but for the latter they could certainly accidentally duplicate a real clash. To purposely do it though, just thinking out loud, wouldn't that be rather difficult and expensive? Report this Post to the Staff

I once had people telling me that if a coin had die cracks then it wasn't a fake. That made no sense to me because if the model coin had cracks so would the fake, plus do you expect me to believe that counterfeiters dies never crack? Report this Post to the Staff
