    A friend of mine picked up this so called Morgan at a flea/market a couple of weeks ago. It was being sold as a "COPY"

    Neither side had any kind of stamp on it stating it was a "COPY"

    Here are some images of Morgan reverses.

    One is a Counterfeit.

    Which one??

    I'll post the obverse sides a little later.

    They are getting better.

    Impossible to say from that photo. Can you post larger pics?

    I don't stand a chance of finding it.

    Hows about an obverse scan?

    Hobo, IDK if it worked for you or not, but I had to click on the picture to make it bigger..then click on it a second time to make it really big.

    Top left? Going to need some better pics though ;)

    I did that but the images of the individual coins are still too small to see enough detail.

    If you click on the pic a few times it will get larger.

    My top right assumption was simply an educated guess. We do need much larger photos if possible.

    Obverse side.

    This side will probably give it away to alot of you.

    Indeed, top left seems to the obvious choice.

    Based on what I can see in the pics I'll select the top-right coin. 1893-S is a key.

    HOBO. If you click on the picture 3 times, does it get alot bigger & clearer?

    I know some of the images I look at on this site do & some do not.

    That seems to be the best choice. The date seems extremely odd - maybe its a genuine coin that was modified?

    Yes, to a point. The individual coins are still not that large. It might be better if we had six shots of each coin the size of that image rather than one shot that includes all six coins.

    The date on the top right looks funny to me. Also more likely since it is a key. So, I guess top right. Looking at the reverses I'd thought either bottom left or top right.
