<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 24801718, member: 116145"]Much Respect - I don't have it in me yet to go for the Morgans - and I totally get buying certified only - I mostly do that now, and I got royally screwed recently on a 1694 Elephant Token I bought raw from a reputable (then) seller on eBay. I actually sold a bunch of stuff several years ago and on a cheap Morgan I'd never even thought about (paid probably $15, sold for $18-20) the buyer contacted me and said it was a fake based on weight - at that time I only magnet tested (and magnifier, but what do I know sometimes?) coins and so I just refunded, sent return shipping and held onto that one as a not-so-obvious "but why?" fake common Morgan. I have since acquired calipers, a very accurate scale and the ability to take pictures and post on CoinTalk for opinions on authenticity, which is EXTREMELY helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
