[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1610008, member: 75105"]OP, listen to reason here. Several people, with a level a numismatic expertise, way beyond me, is saying it's fake. I don't even know a whole lot about Morgans, and I'm even pointing out it's fake. It will cost $30 to send it in to PCGS, (unless of course you want to wait a solid month), $8 for Handling, and $16.95 for shipping. When it's all said and done, your going to blow over $50, just to have them say "we cannot holder this coin, it's a fake". Now, the best thing you can do, is take the coin to a jeweler, and have them acid test. I'm not talking about the kind where they drop acid onto the coin, but the one where they rub the edge of the coin on a stone. This will not harm the coin. If the acid states there is silver, THEN go from there, as most fakes are not made of silver. It shouldn't cost anything to have this done. I'm not trying to put you down, but I just don't want to see you waste the money. If it's silver, then the chance of it being real increases. It's not 100%, but it's better than being 9 pages deep in a thread.[/QUOTE]
