Kwpirate Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hoping someone can help me with a coin. I have a 1882 Morgan dollar that is made of what appears to be lead. It has been in family possession for at least 70 years. Story is that someone let my father keep it but made him drill a hole in it. Always thought it was counterfeit but could it be a trial strike?

seldom Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Besides the very expensive Morgan Dollar's I have seen Morgan Dollar's for $50 or $60. Can you post a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 For a first year of issue piece, trial would be more of a possibility. For most dates, lead composition would generally suggest a relatively contemporary counterfeit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
