<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1417024, member: 29643&quot;]Before getting to the point, I&#039;m not sure you&#039;ll have much success pursuing a refund from a seller when you bought the coin over a year ago. It&#039;s possible that they won&#039;t know who you are. Even if they know you, there&#039;s the fraudulent nature of this, where they could claim that it isn&#039;t the coin you bought from them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, to the point of the local dealers, you said they both said the coin looks real to them. Did I read that correctly? To me, the surfaces look way too lifeless for the level of details present in the coin. Anyway, assuming the surfaces are legitimately silver, it&#039;s still possible that the coin is cast silver over copper (or something similar in theory). If the two dealers both think the coin is real, it&#039;s possible (though unlikely) that your scale is off. In any event, the coin doesn&#039;t &quot;look&quot; right to me. The edge looks a bit bigger than expected (relative to the placement of the rim). Also, the details are inconsistent. The face of Liberty seems far too sharp for the level of wear on the bolles and hairline. A Morgan expert should be able to give a much better opinion than mine, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Also, I just saw the reverse. The wear on the tail above the arrows seems weird. It&#039;s like someone ground that part down then scratched in the cross hatching. I realize what I&#039;m saying makes no sense, but that&#039;s what I&#039;m seeing. Another issue is the wings themselves. 1893-P Morgans are weakly struck in the middle... but not enough to completely obliterate the wings to the extent shown in your photo. Also, the bottom/back of the hair seems extremely worn relative to everything else. I would guess cast based upon the wings, to be honest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
