[QUOTE="Tokenfreak, post: 2046255, member: 73113"]I bought 2 Morgan Silver Dollars off of eBay. I know for a fact one is a fake since it is not as thick as the other silver dollar. However, these are the only Morgan Silver Dollars I have owned so I don't know how to tell if they are real or fake. They may both be fake for all I know. The 1887 Silver Dollar weights 25.84 grams The 1882 Silver Dollar weights 26.89 grams I realize a Silver Dollar is suppose to weight 26.73 grams so is it better to be underweight or above weight? By looking at these pictures of the 2 coins can someone tell me if they are both fake or if one is real? Thanks.
