It looks fake that black stuff on it doesn't help either.

 

1878 8tf grade xf- AU details,value around $50-$70 if real

 

Could that be a rim clip above ES in states on the reverse?

 

I would guess AU50, details, but that rim ding on the reverse is not good and discoloration on the obverse has me puzzled. Fake, gassed or ? to look old, yet look at the stars and the clean area around them?

 

I don't know if it's just me but the details look a little mushy... I'd say it's a fake over-all

 

I don't think it is fake, so I did a little bit of cleaning and have 2 more pics

 

NOOOO! Why did you clean it!!!

 

Can you weigh it actually the cleaning helped it was already a details coin before it was cleaned and more details are visible.

 

Oh okay

 

27 rounded off so 26. something

 

here is another Morgan same weight near 27 grams

 

^^^Its real worth $30-$40

 

After being cleaned it's worth less than it was dirty. If you want to sell a coin, leave it as is and sell it dirty. If you want to sell your car, clean, wash and vacuum it.

 

The blackness looks terrible, the reverse ding kills it for me. Whether it's real or not, I have no idea and I've been wrong before so I try not to guess!

 

Ouch..cleaning makes the coin worth melt value...

 

^^^Not entirely detail sales of 1878 8tf in xf-au has been selling for around $50-$80 it has a chance to be worth more than melt.
