One of the bestest things you can do for authentication purposes is to head to vamworld.com and go to Morgan vams by date, then there will be a list of all the dates of the Morgan dollar that are links to all the known vams of the series. Select 1893-S, and compare your specimen to all the known vams of the 1893-S in which there are very few. Hope this helps, and hopefully you have a match! Edited by mrwhatisit

The coin has issues. The date position is not correct for a genuine example.

There was only one obverse die used for the 1893-S, and the date position of this coin is wrong, so it appears to be counterfeit.

Mintmark does not look correct to me.
I vote fake.

Note the odd relationship between the P and the L in PLURIBUS.

to the CCF I suggest it would be helpful to our new member if our CCF experts can add a few words to support their views, as most of you have. Just saying ... '100% Fake' does not offer any educational or information exchange value. |

Comparative ping tone test against a genuine Morgan would help to prove, either way.

 Does it stick to a magnet? All joking aside, it's hard to be 100% certain without holding it in your hand. Just my 2 cents . .  |

A close examination of the lettering shapes on all devices shows many irregularities. Clearly a fake.
