<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 481337, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;m sorry, but I don&#039;t think weighing, measuring or testing with magnets dispels anything anymore.&nbsp; It gives you a better chance, yes.&nbsp; But like I said in my first post, the guys in china are using 90% silver, 10% copper to create their fakes now.&nbsp; And they pride themselves on making them to the proper size and weight.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; So yes, doing this stuff will catch some counterfeits but will not catch them all.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what you would have to do to prove this Morgan was 100% genuine.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Lets just say, nothing stands out, but despite that, I for one would not bet my house that this Morgan was 100% real.&nbsp; &nbsp; I doubt anybody else would here either.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There are many factors that contribute to the likelihood of something being genuine but I don&#039;t know how you can be 100% anymore.&nbsp; And I expect this will get much worse as time goes on and more coins are shipped here from over-seas.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Also would like to note that the tolerances vary quite a bit on most stuff I&#039;ve weighed.&nbsp; Simple wear reduces dimes by tenths of a gram.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve also found most coins to be under sized, but only by fractions of a mm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
