<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1209112, member: 13650&quot;]I had written up something similar to what Race just stated but I decided not to get in the middle of another &quot;is it real, is it fake&quot; argument and deleted it. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; All I would add to what RB just stated here is that not only is the toning too perfect, but the overall condition is too perfect.&nbsp; If it was really taken care of this well, it should have natural toning with maybe some (maybe a lot) of luster remaining.&nbsp;&nbsp; You see this on most Chinese counterfeits.&nbsp; They&#039;re newly made and absolutely perfect condition but look dirty.&nbsp; There won&#039;t be a mark anywhere in the fields.&nbsp; Liberty&#039;s cheek will be perfectly clean which is very rare.&nbsp;&nbsp; Usually only MS-66 and up Morgans will have a perfectly clean cheek and some of those still don&#039;t.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Weight, diameter and sounding tests are always a good test, but still may not always settle it.&nbsp; Some of them will melt junk common stuff to make rarer ones like CC&#039;s so people can profit more.&nbsp; The metal content will be right.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Other fakes I&#039;ve seen are far from perfect, to a novice collector.&nbsp; But they are really getting good at Morgans.&nbsp;&nbsp; This very well could be a fake that his grandfather ended up with somehow.&nbsp; The Chinese have been making fakes for a long time.&nbsp; &nbsp; Or, he could have bought them on ebay and lied to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
