What exactly do you mean that it is not weighing right?

 

my book says it is supposed to weigh one thing and the actual weight is like 2 grams off.

 

Pics of the entire coin would help, but...

... did they even *make* a Carson City mint-marked dollar in 1799?

Methinketh not...?

 

They made one in 1899 for Carson City apparently. Maybe it was a typo.

 

If all the images are of the same coin, it's fake. It's best to post full images of both sides of the coin.

 

Very true. You do not see any 1799 Morgan Dollars laying around. Do you?

 

They did not make an 1899 CC dollar.

 

The mint minted coins in 21 different years. The Carson City Mint was created in 1863 but wasn't put into operation until 1870. It ran until 1885, went on a hiatus, and resumed operations in 1889, after which it ran until 1893 when it closed for good. It is now the Nevada State Museum, Carson City.

So you can't have a real 1799 CC dollar.

 

Well said. Here is more proof.

Old style Chinese counterfeit.

 

Yup not real. Carson City minted no coins in 1799.
