morgans

[onfire]

Has anyone ran across the Morgans being circulated by China? every thing about them is perfect even the weight except the silver content be very careful even the best can't tell the difference except when you try to polish.

No I haven't seen them. But why would you want to polish them.....Matt

Yes, at least once a month I get Peace and Morgan dollars. The ones from China are magnetic and the reverse is a little off. They also sound different when dropped, but yes they are very good copy's.

I trade these with cherry picken tellers for silver dimes. They're happy and so am I.

This is one reason that I've always been leery of the Morgans, although I have bought a few, never paying over melt. Seems to me that the magnet test would verify authenticity, or am I wrong?

I am not an expert on this, and I personally don't buy silver dollars, but from what I have read the Chinese fakes look BU. So perhaps a good way to avoid the fakes is to focus on circulated specimens.

I would thus assume that if you are buying coins that are either graded by a reputable company or look circulated (XF and below) you are probably safe.

You havent seen the most recent ones. They arent magnetic at all, they weigh perfect, look nearly perfect and even acid test on the outside well. What they do not do is sound right when dropped together in a roll of real morgans. Dead give away.
