Counterfeit 1878 CC morgan

This coin could be 90% silver, but the giveaway is the reverse, has a reverse of 79+, when all 78 CC had the 78 CC reverse. Also he has a 79 CC that looks kinda suspicious but cant confirm, need more experienced eyes.

I guess no one fell for it as it got no bids .

 

A lady (?) tried to sell me one about 8 years ago. Just took pictures with my digital camera. Told her I’d get back to her. A week later she called me asking if I had the money to buy it.
She really went off the rails when I told her it was a well known counterfeit.
Should have offered bullion value
Pretty sure it was silver

 

That's a pretty big "CC".

 

Yes, many are 90% silver which only adds to the frustration!

 

And the listing does say silver

 

Some are 50% silver from old British Coins being melted
Think Hong Kong
The weight difference gives them away
