[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 24894785, member: 114169"]DWhiz, Your weight looks within range. The counterfeit's I have weight about a gram less, between 24.9g and 25.4g. Both have cartwheel luster for days even though they are probably VF-35 "grades." Both pass the ring test, but definitely ring less than a genuine silver dollar. The most pronounced diagnostic, other than the weight (on mine) is the cheap looking reeded edge and the "toning" that looks like it is "painted on" in the recesses around the devices. Very thick and pronounced, not gradual as you would expect to see. Other diagnostics: much less detail in the feathers than the grade would warrant and a line around the rims on the reverse. These comparisons are a little deceiving (especially comparing an 1894 Morgan to a 1921-D Morgan), but you should get an idea of how good these look. I will take edge photos tomorrow, especially of those cut in half. Z Which of the two Peace and Morgan Dollars are counterfeit? Name the dates. The position of the coins remain the same when flipped over to the reverses.
