I won this lot of coins basically just bidding on the Morgan and the 1921-S 50c. I had a feeling about the 1939-S 50c so it was left out of the picture. The coin weighs about 11.5 grams, a little light. It also is an off color. I've let the auctioneer know. I have no problem with keeping it as a memento.

I wouldn't be able to tell from the seller's photos, but it is definitely counterfeit with the new pictures. Good idea leaving it out of the picture, as you spared no loss at the price you paid.

I would not have been able to tell counterfeit from the sellers pics.

Oof, definitely a fake. Is it at least silver?

It weighs 11.11 grams, isn't magnetic and doesn't have that silver ring when dropped on granite countertop.
