irishboy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 5:49 pm And I am embarrassed to say I never even heard about counterfeit Morgans until recently well truthfully I would here a rumor or two now and then. Now it seems like there is an explosion of counterfeit Morgans on the Market. So I'm thinking how many Morgans of mine are counterfeit, I buy a good digital scale and start weighing. I set in on ounces and find none that weigh less than .943 ounces .Am I on the right way ? Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 02/08/2025 11:30 am Many years ago, say the 1970's, Early 80's a sense of Counterfiets were around the coin shops and shows. I personally collected a Few Fakes, all attributed to China, Being I was informed China can make, Produce all the counterfiet coins, Medals they want, As long as they did Not leave that country. That was a time where Less than Original Fake coins were looked down upon, Fakes are value-less, No. They Too have a following, as long as All party's are aware, The products are Fake.... Maybe things have changed but, I see China exporting All they can get away with and Here in America, Is their intended target for such Poor examples, I am talking about Lately I am seeing/Hearing about More and More Fake Morgan dollars, Sad... These Fake Morgan silver dollars were Always a problem for America, Till the collector's base for these Not Original Coins Grew into a Variety, that people Still seek, Not All, But Some...... Thanks for the Topic, MD Report this Post to the Staff
