    I found this Morgan Dollar and was wondering what happened to it?
    At first I thought maybe a grease filled die...then I thought maybe someone plated this with silver....but I can't tell.
    Any ideas??

    Is that color correct, is the weight close? Looks like a fake, just doesn't look right around her mouth. Sorry, I just don't know :confused:

    It might be a little off on color....I don't know the weight....

    The whole thing looks kinda weird - almost like it has doubling of some kind. Weigh it - even if you just test it on a balance scale with another Morgan.

    When holding another Morgan dollar up next to it this one looks blue...it also doesn't ring like another one....I'll try to get a weight.

    I took it to a dealer today and he weighted it (don't ask me for the weight.....) and said it was just a tad under weight and wasn't a fake...he said that he thinks someone put acid on it...
    I disagree...I've seen coins that have acid problems and this doesn't look like it...
    I'm going to keep looking around for this type of thing...

    Thanks
