    Check out this sight. My boss who got me into collecting has been very suspicious of all the like new Morgan Silver dollars he has been seeing for sale on TV. Based on what I see at this site I would think twice about buying Morgan Silver dollars from an unknown seller.

    I saw those pictures a couple of years ago. They have gotten better since then for sure.

    That same info has been placed on coin forums for years now. I know, as most do, that there is a lot of counterfeiting going on in China and lots of other places. And I sometimes wonder when the same article is shown over and over with nothing new, just how reliable they are.

    I think the Morgans advertised on TV are OK... it's those sleazy sellers on eBay that you have to be wary of...
