It has no mint mark that I can find but it does have an error that I haven't seen listed. The sides are reverse (one upside down) when you turn the coin over. Does this error affect the value? Is this a fake? I bought it from ebay for 25$. Is this a scam? Thanks for answers Report this Post to the Staff

afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 05/12/2010 08:03 am ? Pics to better show what you are referring to would help. If you are saying what I think you are - then all US coins are that way, check your pocket change. Pics are absolutely necessary though. Oh - and welcome to the boards.

And the sides being upsidedown from each other is 'coin alignment' - medal is when both sides have the same orientation. Again this is normal for morgans. Report this Post to the Staff

What you are seeing is completely fine - if you'd like to post pictures, experts here will help you to assess if your coin is authentic. There ARE a lot of counterfeit (fake) coins out there. =) Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/12/2010 8:07 pm I would be worried more about it not being the grade described than being fake; correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe P mint dates like 1887 are commonly counterfeited. Report this Post to the Staff
