<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 998033, member: 11521&quot;]Actually there were 12,000 Business Strikes minted but it is still an exceedingly rare coin. So when you see a raw 1895 Morgan Dollar you should suspect it may be counterfeit (or altered). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like has already been said, the general appearance of the coin is suspect. The color is off. The surfaces are granular. The photos are not super detailed but I think I see numerous raised lumps all over the surfaces. There is a general lack of detail (see eagle&#039;s legs and feathers, denticles, etc.). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A magnet can be your best friend. If the coin is attracted to a magnet it is not 90% silver (or gold or copper) and is most likely going to be counterfeit (with some noted exceptions).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
