Well I read some more about the ring test and compared it to a known real dollar. It is a little thicker and does not ring as nicely, I guess it is fake.
Is this 1896-S Morgan dollar real? I see a die issue near one of the stars by the hair, and I don't see that on any VAM web page. It does NOT stick to a magnet and when I drop it it sounds like silver. I will weigh it at the coin shop saturday.
