    Looking for opinions on this common date 1889-O Morgan. Grade? Damaged? Odd look? Cleaned?

    Extremely filthy or cast counterfeit
    most likely both

    It looks like it may have some environmental issues, but I don't know if it is a cast copy or not. It also has a pretty strong die crack through the "9" and I checked all of the 89-O's on VAMWorld and there isn't one mentioned.

    Yup. You got it. Cast counterfeit. Slightly heavy at 416 grains.

    My first reaction was counterfeit. When I looked at the closeup the surfaces appear to have have been worked in a coin tumbler or similar process. Seeing that it's heavy pretty much confirms it's a counterfeit.
