Hi, I found on my basement an O Morgan 1895 one dollar but I don't know if it is counterfeit or real. Please do you have any idea about this? Thanks

 If you look at the gap between the eagle's head and left wing, you will see that it is pretty wide. This is called the C4 reverse. This reverse wasn't used until ~1900. A common mistake that counterfeiters make is using the wrong reverse die on Morgans. This is the first place I look to determine if a coin is even remotely genuine. Plus, yours has the "artificially aged" appearance that many of the copies have.

Comparative ping tone test against a known genuine 90% Morgan in low grade would confirm as fake.

Looks fake to me. The O looks wrong.
Errers and Varietys.

@Crazymonkey95  It appears to be a counterfeit. Please crop your pictures, thus able to provide larger, better images to view.
