dpson New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 9:40 pm Recently received 5 VF-EF Morgans bought from ebay and was putting them in round plastic holders, happened to be rotating them in the holders and noticed one of the coins (1895-O) had the reverse turned 180 degrees from the others, the eagle was upright, not upside down. Did a little research and figure it is likely a fake as 180 degree rotations are very rare in Morgans, but to be sure any suggestions on the best place to have it checked out?

dpson New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 08:34 am I don't think posting photos on the forum is going to help in this case. I have read that counterfitters slice these coins in two and then meld them back together to create a rarity and it takes an expert on close examination to determine if they are authentic or not. I think there is a 95% probability this is a fake, but on the 5% chance it is not, who should it be sent to for authentication, what specific instructions should be included and is it worth spending the money to do this?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 09:57 am I think it best if you posted pics of the front and back and edge. We could save you a bunch of money. The cheapest place to send it is ANACS. You would be surprised how well the Morgan pros here on CCF can help. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

dpson New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 07:36 am It is a fake, underweight and too thick, diameter was ok. Found all 5 from ebay sale were fakes, all were New Orleans "O" mint, 4 were common dates and were fine to XF, not uncirculated. Beware it appears they are now faking common date Morgans.
