Error Morgan?

Hello,

I am selling some Morgan's for my aunt on ebay,(she needs the cash) Can anyone tell me if this is an error coin and if so what type and how much is it worth.

The rim seems worn down but looks odd to me.
Missing letters on the reverse.

Thanks!

I can't be certain, but it looks like a cast fake to me. Do you have a scale to weigh it?
Did you try the "ring test"?

I was thinking the same thing Chris. The rim makes me want to say counterfeit, but I suppose it could just be heavily damaged (by some acid).

 

It passes the ring test but weighs a little light 26.2 compared to 26.6 from another Morgan.

 

Cast Fake IMO

 

Did you try testing it with a magnet ?

 

magnet does not stick at all.

 

That's fake. It looks like lead rather than silver.

 

Not lead, it is not soft.

 

prob some mix of metals to get the weight close....but i agree with everyone this is not genuine for sure just looks wrong.

 

Ok thanks, I will let my Aunt know the bad news.

 

Just do a 1881 Morgan search on eBay & compare your Aunt's coin to the pics there. Just doesn't look the same

 

Ya no problem sorry man...you never know though so u may still wanna have someone check it in hand...although slim chance we could be wrong

 

I am sure that you are correct that it is a fake, the weights not right and it just looks wrong compared to the others I have. I am sure glad I joined this forum you all have been very helpful. I look forward to more coin talk but hopefully next time I will have something good to share.
