[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3208064, member: 92083"][B]Update... [/B] I brought all the 6 Trade dollars, the 2 Morgans, and the 2 gold pieces to Jack Hunt Gold & Silver in Buffalo, who is one of the top precious metals and precious metal coin buyers/dealers in the entire U.S. They ran all the coins at no charge as a favor to me today through a Fischerscope Xan machine (read about it here: [url]http://www.fischer-technology.com/en/united-states/products/coating-thickness-measurement/desktop-measurement-instruments/xan-series/[/url] ). This machine can tell if it is gold vs. gold plated, and measures the purity as well including many other uses. [B]RESULTS: [/B]All the fake trade dollars are 90-91% silver, the fake Morgans are [I]not [/I]silver at all (not even plated), and the 2 fake gold pieces....91% gold! That's right. Fake coins, but 90% pure in precious metal content (except the 2 Morgans). These will make great examples to study from compared to genuine pieces, and a nice sub-part of my collection.[/QUOTE]
