<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3017857, member: 84595"]It's definitely fake or counterfeit whichever you prefer to call it. Always check VAMworld.com to learn the diagnostics of a genuine coin. Also make sure they minted that particular year at whatever mint mark it has. No D's in 1928. Weight is important to check also. Note how the tiara rays are separated from the tiara above the forehead. This is a characteristic of a counterfeit. The mushy appearance and letter size is a good indication of counterfeits. For 1928 P, there are three VAM's with sub varieties. I recommend every collector, young or old or even me to learn die characteristics for the coin they want to purchase. Even the minute die gouges in protected areas on worn coins. I have seen a complete date and mint mark set of counterfeit Morgan dollars. So study, study, study. Happy hunting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
