    OK, this is a 93s that I own. Is it genuine, or a Chinese fake, and what does it grade if real?

    I am very familiar with diagnosing Morgans, as I have collected, sold, and acquired them for 40 years. This is a grading exercise, as there has been much debate about key date, and CC Morgans recently--so I tossed this out to get opinions. I know what it is. :)

    I think it is genuine. The crossbar through the vertical of the "T" in LIBERTY is a diagnostic since there was only one die pair used to strike them.........VF20.

    Yes, there were only one set of dies--very limited mintages for a Morgan, and even fewer surviving. You are onto something. ;)

    This is NOT my coin, but is this one real or fake, and why do you think so? Compare it to the other one:
