Another day, another seemingly reputable coin dealer selling a fake Morgan, not a cheap one either, rather than me just calling out FAKE! I will explain, I have circled some tell tale signs to look for, firstly the colour is completely off, you can almost see the brass, for its appeared condition, even on worn examples, the entire design, the eagle, lady liberty and all the lettering, date and mint mark should be clean and sharp, on this coin they're not, they're not even done well, Morgans were made over 100 years ago but the design was perfect.
The rim is terribly uneven, you might get a morgan with a slight uneven rim but not as bad and noticeable.
There is a few solder looking mark's, very common in the exact same spot on some fakes, on the left eagle wing.
Lastly the overall appearance is flat, looks like the same profile for the detail, the Morgan dollar has a very beautiful and complicated design, almost 3D like, the detail of lady liberty and the eagle has many profiles.
With the amount of red circles I have made, it would have been easier to circle the entire coin 🤣 but just a little pointer on what to look for

Its making me think twice about eBay now, dont know where I am going to get my Morgans 😞

Yes they are the same coins. It's impressive how the made the first one looking so much better than reality... 🤔

Hi all, firstly, this is not a personal attack on the seller so I have censored personal details, potential buyers should be made aware that just because any seller that has near 40k and 100% feedback, it doesn't guarantee authenticity
So this seller listed a double headed 1895 Morgan for £35 buy now, listing said it was probably modified using 2 Morgans, and said it was 22.75g of .900 silver, this is a very common weight for the cheapest of fakes, you can get better quality fakes now weighing 26.7g, it's clear they don't do even the basic of checks to there coins (testing for diamagnetism with a neodymium magnet) or even have the knowledge of what a genuine Morgan should weigh, openly listing this Morgan dollar as .900 silver and weighing 22.75g, 4g under weight
I messaged the seller and rather than remove it, they have now reduced the prices, edited the listing to say copy and still continue to sell it
I am not a coin dealer but I have bought and sold for years to suit my collection and I have never made this kind of mistake before but I guarantee the authenticity of something I sell would be questioned before theirs on the feedback alone
Morgan dollars are something quite special to me and I always try to call out the counterfeits I see on eBay, some do it intentionally, some do not, either way it is not acceptable
