<p>[QUOTE="Fall Guy, post: 1416491, member: 35281"]Just wanted everyone to see this. Doesn't attract to a magnet and weighs 23.3 grams. Circumference and thickness is spot on. I showed this to 2 reputable dealers in the area where I use to live. Neither weighed it but didn't determine it to be fake from looking at it. I bought this about a year ago at a flea market from a guy who had a bunch of different items from estate sales that he buys and this was in along with some other foreign coins. I know that is a red flag right there but for $25 I'd figure to give it a shot in case the guy didn't know what he had. I am just getting around to posting pictures. I haven't checked to see if it is silver yet. Hopefully it is and I can get some of that money back. Anyway can anyone spot anything off other than the weight? Looks like a pretty good fake but I have a novice eye.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/5347/fakemorgan.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/7359/fakemorgan2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
