Hello to everyone, I would like to ask you, if this coin is real or fake. Size and weight is OK. I have bought it on czech auction portal for good price. Thanks for your help.   Edited by kesybz

Blurry pics, but from what I can see.... Fake. Raised bumps on the obverse are a good giveaway, MM is also incorrect ( from what I can make out). Obverse devices look poorly done across the board as well. Sorry.  Edited by Ty2020b

Weight won't make a difference even if bang on.
It is a counterfeit. Hope you didn't pay too much.

Thanks for your replies. You confirmed my feeling. I bought 3 barber dollars in combination with 3 Morgan dollars. Morgan dollars are definitely OK (not rare dates), but other 2 Barber half dollars will be also fakes. I am now sure about it. No, I didnt pay much but I will contact seller. |

Fridge magnet ! The magnet test is often the most expedient way to cull these counterfeits. |

@kesybz, if the Morgan's are from the same seller you may want to post them as well to confirm authenticity. Common dates are faked as well, though not as much as key dates.

OK, there is one morgan 1886 P for verification.Size and weight are OK. Its not magnetic. I also own metal detector Minelab equinox 600 and it gives ID 37. Thats the right ID for Morgan dollar. :)   Edited by kesybz

@kesybz .... Is the Barber Half, the subject piece, attracted to a magnet?
