Went to the expo over the weekend.
Came across a booth with some coins. I like coins. Coins are good. Coins are fabulous.
Anyway, was looking at the Morgans and asked about Carson Cities. They had about 6-7. I looked through them all and spotted a beautiful AU Carson City. I immediately looked at this puppy and was wondering what the deal was? Nice and frosty, minimal to no dings, no wear to speak of.
Looked closely at the CC.
The CC was NOT perpendicular to the Eagle, it was at an angle. Without a loupe you couldn't tell all that much.
Either this is a rare AU CC or we have a counterfeit.
I don't recall the year.
I called attention to the booth lady and she immediately weighed it. 27.6 grams. We compared a circulated CC at 26.8 grams.
Something didn't seem right to me.
Either I passed up a rare CC worth oogles, or I spotted a counterfeit.
No matter what, I walked away.
What say you?
Would the good old USofA ship our a Morgan with a crooked CC on their silver dollar?
