Thats a common date and it's not even MS. Give it to your son.
Yes, the magnet test is the best! Most of those coins are copper plated. Do beware fakes from China that are struck from dies.
Take a look at that coin. If you only see a couple tiny ticks with the naked eye, id send it to PCGS. They are worth alot in ms66rd! I sent a 1954...
The 1892-s is interesting. In low grades, it costs under $100. In XF and AU it's a semi key but in MS it's a major key. The 1880-o morgan is...
I say ms63 too. Ive bought coins that looked like that and sent some to PCGS.

vf-30 but that date is worth alot due to low mintage.
PCGS will grade coins like those for $18 a pop. My guess is ms65 but no idea what PCGS will say. I would grade that coin if I owned it along with...
