As many of you know, I collect coins on the cheaper side due to a Social Security budget. I have been wanting a CC Morgan dollar but dang, they sure are high dollar. Was able to finally buy one today. I know it isn't a high grade, but for $37.00 shipped, I am happy. Do you think it would at least grade "good"? Go ahead, you won't hurt my feelings. LOL
My first impression was "fake", but I'm not a Morgan expert. The "cc" seems more like a "cC". The inner loop of the "9" seems off, too.
My first thought is why is IGWT so bold but the rest of the letters on the reverse are so weak? The fields on the reverse have a strange color. How much does it weigh?
Holy cow. Hope it isn't fake. Haven't got it in to weigh it yet. Probably is fake with my dumb luck. Thanks for the info guys. I'll take it to a local dealer and have it checked out when I get it in. I'll let you know.
Somebody sure did go to a lot of trouble to sell me a fake coin for only $37.00. Heck, I would have gone for a lot rarer fake coin than this and ask a lot more. Dang, I hate this. Makes me want to give up the coin collecting I love. Anybody else think it's fake?
I think it's real, but rather banged up. The reverse looks like VAM 3 (probably VAM 3A) -- filled G in God with a gloppy mint mark. The funny bit on the 9 is probably damage, and looking at the rest of the coin, the date was bound to suffer a hit somewhere.
