That is a Great Garage sale find. I'm never that lucky. haha. I did find a 1899 silver Morgan dollar, early this year. In fact it was Jan. 11, 2007. What a great way to start the year off.

Again great find. HH, Ringfinder

I'm including a picture of the one I found this year, in the cold, cold NW Ohio!

are you sure it's authentic? see the two Morgan silver dollars above, one is a FAKE

and the back has the same mint mark as your coin "CC" for Carson City

you can buy these in chinatown, San Francisco for $2 - $3 each

guess which coin is the fake? one is authentic and one is a reproduction made in China

I wouldv'e guessed the 82 also but just for the heck of it,what does the counterfeit weigh? Or is it not yours?

the real Morgan on the left dated 1898 weighs 26.2 grams

the fake Morgan dated 1882 on the right weighs 19.8 grams

Thanks for the info.
