<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26465660, member: 27832&quot;]The Peace dollar looks like cartoon line art. We see those fairly frequently on eBay and the like. I think of them as &quot;not even trying&quot; fakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1878 looks wrong in general. The lettering and the rest of the design isn&#039;t as sharp as it should be, and the coloring on the reverse looks like the &quot;fake tan&quot; that&#039;s commonly present on Chinese fakes. (I&#039;m sure they can be/have been made in other places as well, but we&#039;ve seen video from Chinese manufacturing operations, Chinese sites like Alibaba have plentiful listings for them, and I assume that&#039;s where most of them come from.) </p><p><br /></p><p>The other three Morgans look better at first glance, but on closer inspection, they&#039;ve still got mushy details. They also have a weird luster/&quot;sheen&quot; that I don&#039;t see on real coins, but have seen on some fakes. (Our local pawnshop once put out a half-dozen or so 1901-P Morgan dollars with exactly that sheen. Barely any contact marks; if real, the group would&#039;ve been worth well into six figures, possibly seven.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
