I have been documenting bad CC Morgans and the reverses used in fakes I have seen to date as shown in the following images. The 1st use of a "common" reverse I have seen is from a 2018 1881-CC example with main attribution features indicated in red and from a post here.  These features appear to move around a bit, as well as the countries sellers appear to originate from as seen in the 2nd image set.  There are also bizarre "die breaks", spikes and odd scratches seen; one ingenious example has the "CC" and "One Dollar" removed!    The last image is of one of the current bad examples seen housed in fake PCGS holders.  Best, Jack. |

XRF could prove that these fakes were made from recycled .900 fine coin silver

Gosh the CC garbage seems to be everywhere. Tip of the iceberg I'm afraid.

I wonder if GSA holders have been faked yet.
