<p>[QUOTE="Atarian, post: 3273816, member: 34285"]So the LCS usually has a bowl of common Peace and Morgan dollars for cheap - and I usually grab a few when I'm in there. I think I finally got a fake. Pics below. The rest look OK but a quick look from the experts is appreciated. I've got all my ungraded dollars out of the safe and intend to weigh them. If they weigh correctly is it reasonable to assume they are most likely genuine?</p><p><br /></p><p>1878 - pretty sure this is fake as it weighs only 350.0 grains (I used my reloading scale which is VERY accurate). That's about 22.68 grams, which is 4 grams underweight.</p><p><br /></p><p>On scale:</p><p><img src="http://www.atarian-alps.com/LEVIATHAN/1878_on_scale.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse:</p><p><img src="http://www.atarian-alps.com/LEVIATHAN/1878_suspect_obverse..JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse:</p><p><img src="http://www.atarian-alps.com/LEVIATHAN/1878_suspect_reverse.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts on the 1882 which weighs correctly.
