<p>[QUOTE="Gdobie, post: 26192216, member: 102828"]I recently purchased a 1893 S Morgan Silver Dollar trying to complete my album. The post on eBay showed the test of 90% silver (see link below). I took the coin to the local coin dealer and they also tested it but couldn't confirm authenticity because there were traces of Zink, Platinum and Nickle (see photo). They pointed out that the die crack in the T was also missing. The seller said they had the coin checked by ICG who said it was authentic. I have 30 days from 5/2/25 to return for a refund but if it's real, I think I got a great deal so, I'd hate to send it back. On the other hand if it's fake and I have to resell someday I'll be screwed. I'd like to get it Professionally graded or authenticated by PCGS or NGC but wouldn't have time. Any advice or guidance from the group would be very much appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is what the seller said "I bought that coin and a lot of other higher end CC morgans from a local doctors family.
