    Could this actually be a Railroad Rim Morgan Dollar or a counterfeit? All the dimensions/weight are correct.

    Can't be sure, but it looks real. What year is it?

    Would you believe it if it was a 93s?

    Haha! Is it? If so, it is most likely fake. Very scarce year.

    No such thing as a railroad rim if it's a 93-S? I seen thousands of Morgans but never a railroad rim, no less on a 93-S!!!

    Railroad rim= partial collar?

    I hear they're most common as the 21 S.

    What I am saying is that the 93-S is a rare coin of that year, one of the rarest of the Morgan series.

    Gotta be fake, did you weigh it?

    And that coin is in extremely good condition for a 93-S and to have a railroad rim without anyone noticing it... I would say fake or prank or you just hit a gold mine!

    First question to ask yourself though: where'd you get it?
