<p>[QUOTE="eric6794, post: 2713873, member: 76066"]I just met up with an elderly disabled fella cause he said he had some Morgans for sale on a buy, sell, trade facebook site. I get there and start going through the coins and at first glance everything seemed fine until I started seeing super rare key dates like a 1885 CC and 1893 0 and S then bells and whistles started going off in my head, the old saying too good to be true is the truth. I started weighing them and they were all off on weight then I used the neodymium magnet and it slid off fast. At first I thought that maybe this guy had been fooled and he thought he was selling honest to goodness Morgans but then when I said something about the possibility of them being fake he started getting defensive saying he knew a great deal about coins and he wouldn't know why someone would want to fake Morgans...Whether he really knew or not isn't what makes me the most angry it's the fact that there are so many fake ones out there and that people without knowledge keep buying them and spreading them around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
