I was given these two 1887 CC Morgans yesterday by a store owner who knew they were fakes (a magnet sticks to them), and I was hoping to get a few answers on them. I plan on checking their hardness, density, and maybe cutting one in half to look at the cross section. My guess is that they are stainless steel, which would explain why they are ferrous. However, what this won't tell me is where these coins came from. Does anybody know where counterfeit coins like these are made? Is there any test I can perform to get an idea of where/how a coin like this was produced?
