lambdasond66 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambdasond66 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Yeah, I know it's weird to think about but you kinda have to do a "gut test". Your eyes and brain are much smarter than you think. If you're asking these sort of questions, there's a decent chance it's a fake. However, it's in pretty good shape and not an obvious fake, so keep thinking of other tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
