That's a real nice counterfeit, I dug a lead Morgan dollar, but you can tell that the maker took a real silver dollar, and stamped the impression onto the lead. Everything's backwards, doubt that it ever actually passed for a real one. Excellent find!

Nice Find

Remember, a dollar back then was a lot back then. You went into an Ace Hardware store and ask can I get for a buck, you might have a wagon load.
