<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Charlie32, post: 113565, member: 4030&quot;]I picked up these two duds at the coin show yesterday.&nbsp; The first one is a 1921 Morgan dollar.&nbsp; At a glance it looks real, but if you look closely; it is obviously fake. It is not silver either.&nbsp;&nbsp; It weighs 22.3 grams instead of 26.7. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is a fake 1843 Seated half dollar. It is a better imitation than the Morgan, but since it isn&#039;t silver; it is obviously fake.&nbsp; It is a little porous and pretty banged up.&nbsp; It weighs 10.4 grams instead of 13.3.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer selling them said that they found a lot of counterfeits during the 1979-80 silver boom, when they were melting bags of &quot;scrap silver.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Charlie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
