<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Siggi Palma, post: 1561325, member: 18255&quot;]Good evening everyone, </p><p><br /></p><p>When i started buying coins I knew the best way to learn about fakes would be morgan dollars as they are one of the most faked coins around.&nbsp; There are many ways of spotting a fake and people who have studied morgan dollars can see a bad fake miles away.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with me as with every beginner was that I did not have that eye sight and simply I´m not there yet as I can be fooled if not careful.&nbsp; So I use the old tricks magnets, weight and something my mentor taught me &quot; sound &quot;.&nbsp; Morgan dollars have a beautiful high pitched sound when struck with an object.&nbsp; He used a small wooded stick.&nbsp; And as I have been in the music scene the first thing that came to me was &quot; what key is it in &quot; and sure enough I tried all my morgan´s and they are all in the same key.&nbsp; I had in my possession 5 fakes and even fakes with 90% silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; What I do is use my guitar tuner on my iphone and to this day I have found some fakes just by using the sound of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is off course not the best and most likely the worst way of spotting a fakes as you have to hold it in the worst possible way.&nbsp; But still I think it´s kinda fun and with china getting better all the time this might help. </p><p><br /></p><p>Siggi[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
