<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 3397195, member: 84595&quot;]I&#039;m sure everyone on Coin Talk is familiar with VamWorld.com and studies the die characteristics of all raw rare Morgan and Peace dollars they buy from anywhere. If not, remember to go to VamWorld.com before you buy.&nbsp; Most of us carry a phone with data access and can go to VAM World to confirm die diagnostics of a raw coin.&nbsp; When I go flea marketing or anywhere coins may be available, Including coin shops and coin shows, I carry a bag with scale, microscope, magnet and sometimes a small machine to determine gold or silver.&nbsp; Unfortunately you coin is a counterfeit. Your coin has many characteristics that shout &quot;I&#039;m a counterfeit&quot; do not buy me.&nbsp; Don&#039;t be depressed buying a counterfeit.&nbsp; It is a learning experience.&nbsp; I and other coin club members have done talks on Counterfeit and altered coins at coin club meetings in the Scranton, PA area complete with both genuine and altered or counterfeit coins to educate the members. If you have the opportunity, join an informative coin club in your area.&nbsp; Ask questions, read books from their library and study die characteristics and the minting process.&nbsp; Happy coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
