I know a guy who runs a jewelry store. He's not real familiar with 90% silver so he had me come in to look at some Morgan Dollars and some other coins a customer had dropped off. All the coins were fake. There were 108 Morgan Dollars--all of them 1885 cc, which is worth a lot of money, and 1887 cc, which doesn't even exist. I weighed some of the Morgan Dollars and one was about 20 grams, one was around 17 grams, one was around 18 grams, and the rest of the ones I weighed were about 19.5 grams-19.9 grams. There were also 2 Peace Dollars that were just under 20 grams. There were also 3 1804 Liberty Dollars, which are extremely rare, and one from 1797. Those were around 22 grams.
I took some of the Morgan Dollars and the Liberty Dollars to a coin store near where I live so they could look at them. They pointed out some other things about them--like the rim on some of the Morgans was uneven-it was wider at some points. They also used a magnet on them and all the coins stuck to the magnet. They also compared them to a counterfeit Morgan they keep in the store (That one doesn't stick to a magnet, but it's real light). |
