<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cole Taylor, post: 2362200, member: 77556&quot;]Hey, Brett:&nbsp; Thanks for sharing the pics.&nbsp; First thing to note is that even a seasoned numismatist will be unlikely to definitely conclude as to the authenticity of your coins based just on photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I took a break from this site and canceled my old account because I found that there were a lot of unhelpful, grumpy people on this site.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong, there are some great people on here who can be very helpful, but there are also a lot of people who are dismissive of any new member&#039;s posts, quick to make conclusions without any explanation whatsoever.</p><p><br /></p><p>I imagine that the average coin collector over age 50 has a pony tail that they pull through the opening in the back of their baseball cap and just sit by their computer arguing all day with others of the same style.</p><p><br /></p><p>I advise, bring those coins to a coin shop.&nbsp; Formal grading can be expensive to the point that the process costs more than the coins are worth, however most coin shops are decent, and they&#039;ll let you know if it&#039;s worth grading, maybe charging you 5 dollars or so for that quick assessment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, that Morgan, if real, which it does seem to be, would only be worth in that 20 to 30 dollar range.&nbsp; The trade dollars maybe in that $100 ballpark apiece, so it&#039;s not a big treasure regardless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also a good way to test the authenticity of a coin with silver in it is to clang it against another coin and if it&#039;s authentic then it&#039;ll have a ping echo very distinguishable from when&nbsp; a clad coin is clanged against another coin.&nbsp; Good luck, bud.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
