<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahearn, post: 1263959, member: 18211&quot;]I&#039;m attempting to hone my skills at detecting fake Morgans, being concerned with the alarming proliferation of Chinese counterfeits. My exposure has been limited to a couple of batches of medium-quality fakes I recently purchased (as copies) on eBay. My question is directed to those who have seen more fakes than I.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed on all my real Morgans that the &quot;M&quot; designer&#039;s mark at the base of Miss Liberty&#039;s neck, <i>when viewed at about 30 degree angle </i>is always crisp and sharp, even on highly worn G and VG samples. However, on all the fakes, the &quot;M&quot; is dull and ill-defined, even when other features appear genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Realizing that dedicated counterfeiters might not overlook this small detail, what has been your experience regarding the &quot;M&quot; mark on better fakes? Might this be a reliable indicator?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
