Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 08:45 am Very poor quality fake. Quote: Sure wish I could find the weight of a real one? See the back of the coin, says right there 14.25 grams. Tolerances for silver dollar coins at the time was +/- .097 grams, gold tolerances were even stricter, but assuming the silver tolerance that would mean a real one would almost certainly weigh between 14.15 and 14.35 grams Report this Post to the Staff

Magnesium is used for counterfeit Morgans sometimes. I realize it is fake but just curious what the weight is? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 2:22 pm It is a beast for sure at 19.3gms, lol! Sticks to a magnet so if it is copper on the inside it's heavy steel on the outside? KLUNK! Report this Post to the Staff
