i`ve just recently bought a huge collection of world coins from a deceased estate. Among the collection are these four Morgans. But something is not right. Do you know , no prizes, just for fun.
I don't think the 1881 in the top right is a fake. Note the pull-away toning on the date and the lower stars. This can't be faked. Chris
Ah yeah i see now. It even looks to have a few bag marks. The bottom 2 both look to be poorly cast and I assumed all 4 were fake. The 1901 just looks off as well.
Three are genuine, passed the slide test, weigh the correct amount. One was was thinner than the others and I knew right away it was a phoney, no slide test was required as it was impossible to perform.
I don't believe the '01 is real either. The date is all out of whack, big one, little one, and a crooked nine.
The weight is the same as the other two, it passes the slide test, the thickness and diameter are bang on.
I think the 1901 was cleaned look at the rim wear which correlates to the hair wear so it was in circulation but no dirt?
