<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1224374, member: 24633&quot;]Put me at the top of the list of skeptics. The patina of this coin is what makes it suspect to me. Note how there is a lighter area along the top of Liberty&#039;s cap and along the bottom of her hair above the date and righthand stars. It looks like the patina has been &quot;laid on&quot;. You would normally associate this overall coloration with a coin that has seen a lot of circulation, yet the condition of the devices is still very good. As a rule, a heavily circulated coin will have more of a gray patina on both sides, but this coin has a different color on the reverse. Despite the technical accuracy, it doesn&#039;t look right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember reading the 2-part interview in 2008 that Coin World had with one of the biggest Chinese counterfeiters in Shanghai. In it, Jinghuashei (internet name) told that it costs him 50c to produce a counterfeit Morgan, and he can use chemical means to age it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
