<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CTRollHunter, post: 2378561, member: 41919&quot;]So I have an update about these silver dollars I got from a teller&#039;s tray a few weeks ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]487352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]487353[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I went to a coin show today and one of the dealers had a machine to analyze their metallic content: it turns out they are both REAL!</p><p><br /></p><p>The Morgan dollar suffered some mechanical damage (maybe a vise, or fire or salt water) while the Peace dollar was just buffed.&nbsp; The buffing created a two-tone look that looked like two different metals.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I have now found 3 silver dollars (2 Peace and 1 Morgan) in circulation!</p><p><br /></p><p>The sad thing is until I found the guy with the right equipment, two thirds of the dealers just said they were fakes straight out without any reason except &quot;they didn&#039;t look right&quot; despite both passing the &quot;ring test&quot; (they sounded silver) and were the right weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, I was nearly sure the Morgan was a fake...but the weird surface is just some sort of post mint damage.&nbsp; The Peace dollar might have graded UNC before it was buffed / whizzed / polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had no luck with halves this week, but I did pull a few more silver war nickels and a Merc.&nbsp; When there is only one dime in a box, it&#039;s nice to get a Merc...</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I could like my own post, because I like how this one turned out! <font size="7"><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font size="7"><br /></font></p><p><font size="7"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
