So, I am currently serving overseas and came across this in a store. I have been looking at it for awhile and done research but everything seems to match up. Only thing is, it might feel a little light but I don’t have a scale to verify. So with that, thought I would throw it on here to get some more eyes on it to see what you guys think. Also, I did check it with a magnet and it passed that test as well.

Thanks for your service. Even if genuine (and many overseas are not), it is not an attractive coin to collect. Personally, I would pass.

While in Singapore last year there was a vendor selling these for two dollars, yup fake. I would stay clear of these coins abroad.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. No price has been talked about yet. I was thinking about trying to get it cheap just to take a gamble but I am starting to agree that I should just with my gut that it just doesn’t feel right.

They are making great fakes right now.

In the last couple years, Ive purchased the 2 dollar Ali Express Morgans and not only do they pass the magnet test ( which isn't hard), but they also weight the same as a REAL Morgan.

I took it out of the case it was in and stacked them beside a real deal, and they are just slightly thicker than the real deal...to make up the weight.

To be honest, Im done buying Morgans or Peace Dollars online or even cased up.

I just dont see how they can get away with it ...even on Ebay they are just called " Fantasy Coins"...they are obviously there to screw people over. I bought mine so that I know what to look for...and the Morgans are so damn close!!

I don’t buy raw silver dollars - only Pcgs graded coins - and even then, only from well known dealers. There are even very good fakes in fake holders from China out there.
