[QUOTE="Tokenfreak, post: 2046313, member: 73113"]Ok, thanks for the information. I just wasn't sure how much weight loss would be consider normal for wear and tear on the coin. I did not mention any as I do not currently have a caliper to measure diameter or thickness. I have order one though and will have one soon. The 1882 coin does a little larger diameter just by comparing the two. The 1887 coin I bought was advertised as XF-VF grade. I guess it really wasn't? I am building my collection up so I should be getting more Morgan dollars soon, but I need to be able to tell the fakes from the reals so that is what I am trying to learn. Thanks, I am glad to be here. I am going to try and return it through eBay. The seller does have a 100% feedback, but not much feedback. It may have been a mistake or on purpose I'm not sure. Hopefully, I can get a refund. We shall see. Yes, the fake 1882 also has a larger diameter than the 1887, but not by too much. I don't currently have a caliper to measure it precisely, but will be able to soon.[/QUOTE]
