Weight/mass comparisons don't seem to work with too much accuracy anymore either. Your best bet might be juxtaposing two morgans, this one and a known real one. You may be able to see a slightly different scaling on the '93 if it is indeed counterfeit (I still strongly believe it is). People need to realize that counterfeits are getting better, and have BEEN better, for at least the past few years; they seem to have no trouble masking the weight/nonmagnetic components anymore; the only thing that has me tripped up is if it was found 10 years ago... if so I think there are some VERY convincing counterfeits[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
