There are plenty of fake Morgans with a higher weight and a higher fineness of silver than the genuine coins had. Now you're gonna ask how they (the counterfeiters) could do that. Easy, the silver used in the coin was less than $1 in value so they still made a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>That's why the correct weight is so important.
