<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TSE, post: 4426953, member: 111862&quot;]Hope nobody minds if I dredge up my post from a couple weeks back. I now believe that this recent addition of Morgan&#039;s are [mostly] real. Besides the one that had the altered edge I have found another that seems odd. It is a common 1921 San Francisco mint version with more wear than most of the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dimensionally and by weight it appears real. It rings like all the others when tapped. But it looks strange. The surface seems to have a weird ripple pattern and some of the features are maybe a little off dimensionally. I took a picture of it on top of another San Francisco 1921 as a contrast. This one for comparison is also more worn than the rest of the group so I figured it would be better to show the differences.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">The date seems to be of a slightly thinner font and the stars slightly smaller</span>. Assuming this one is silver as I believe it is, would someone be making poured, actual silver fakes of such a common date Morgan? I know the split between spot and even crummy quality Morgan dollars is large, so I&#039;m sure it would still be profitable for the unscrupulous to do so, but I haven&#039;t seen evidence of this kind of fake in the few weeks I&#039;ve been searching for information about these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any more insight. If nothing else, maybe I&#039;ve stumbled onto another in a long line of counterfeit Chinese junk. Doubtful that it is a previously unreported scheme, but I thought it was worth a look by you folks.[ATTACH=full]1109215[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
