Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 5:12 pm I personally think they are both fake, the date on the Morgan looks off. So does the wheat stalks on top of the bust. EDIT: Eagle wings not positioned right either. Especially the right one. Edited by Redifin 07/11/2019 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 5:54 pm The cent looks like play money, not even a serious effort at counterfeiting. The dollar looks like 1896, not frequently faked as I recall. Edited by Coinfrog 07/11/2019 7:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 8:02 pm Agree that the morgan is fake Report this Post to the Staff
Sir Derrin Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 8:33 pm Wish I could do a drop test on that Morgan- probably just having in hand would clarify if fake. Silver dollars have a very specific sound when lightly dropped on edge. Weight and basic feel is also a good tactile indicator. I have a harder time with certain visual indicators...
