Show your Morgan Silver Dollars minted 1905-20

I'm no expert nor even a collector of Morgans, but this guy who sells coins on Etsy is trying to tell me Morgans were minted in the US for these years...if I'm mistaken, I will admit it, but i don't think so from what I've gathered... ring in folks..

The Chinese have made some junk like this. How would you like to have a 1909 American Silver Eagle? I’ve got one.

 

><..haha...i'm from Missouri...

 

You're absolutely right! They weren't! This is just one reason why it does not pay to shop on Etsy.

that's how this whole thing got started i

i just mentioned it in passing when asking if had any fantasy coin as such(1909)... and he keeps ringing back they were and won't take no for an answer .. ok...whatever ya say pal 9_9...

 

Do us all a favor and slap that guy on Etsy.

 

i think symbolically i have, he just hasn't felt it yet ^^

 

thanks for the assurance peeps.. my mission is to supply my old friend with a silver dollar with his Dad's birthdate of 1909, he doesn't collect coins so it's really not important to him what it is as long it it looks like a 1909..i'm going to try and get a 1903 and put silver solder in the last 3 to make it look like a 9 and do not real damage to the coin since i am a collector and wouldn't harm one..he'll probably take it to the grave with him anyway..

 

OOPPS I was wrong. Sorry for the mix-up. I have a 1906 and a 1908 American Silver Eagle. These great rarities were prevously unknown but have been brought to us by the "CC Mint" ... That Canton China Mint ... Not the one in Nevada.

That totally rotten "1908 Dollar" is actually rather deceptive ... if you didn't know that such things were never made.

 

ya know, for reproductions they dont look bad.. i've got a China coin of czarina Anna... i paid 2.98 shipped..

 

The trouble is if you pay these Chinese counterfeiters anything you are feeding the beast. They deserve to lose their shirts for engaging in this rotten business. It's one more thing that is ruining the hobby.

 

if they were trying to deceive, yes.

 

an unscrupulous person would, but the seller of this coin wasn't.. i see it all the time in ancients so i know how you feel, it makes my blood boil

 

that's a nice looking one! much too pretty for what i need tho

 

if anyone has a worn but not too bad 1903 for a little over spot or better, i'd be interested, if such a critter exist..
