Morgan experts can chime in with details, but just the overall finish and look of the coin looks extremely suspicious to me. I would not touch with a 10 foot pole. In my experience, 99% of the coins that look like that are fake, 1% real. However, I will couch that statement with the fact photos can be very deceptive, I would have to see the coin in hand to prove it.
I can't point to what specifically I don't like about it, but I just don't like it. I'd stay away from this one. It just doesn't feel right.
It’s a 1893 Morgan, a tough date to acquire. I have one, a good one that’s genuine and this coin doesn’t look anything like mine. And I’m not talking about the circulation wear.
Yes, LIBERTY is recessed, not raised. The crown with LIBERTY on it sits lower than the design around it so it’s protected.
