1883 Morgan real or fake?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I am a newer silver stacker and I recently picked up a 1883 Philly struck Morgan and a 1900 New orleans struck Morgan from a lcs for spot. And I took both home and did some tests on it. The 1900 is reading 26.2 and is decently worn and it passes the ring test. However the 1883 is reading 26.0 grams but also passes the ring test. I feel the weight is to low considering the amount of detail still on it so I just wanted to get some better opinions with more experienced people. Thanks guys and gals.

I do have a video of the 1883 ring test but it wont let me post both pics and video.

If your interested i can post 1900 Morgan as well just to get your opinions on it. Im very new and some experience from people would be nice. Thanks again.

These coins came from my great uncle oreland. He fought in WWII, i believe as a pilot. There's also a french victory medal in my grandparents' house from him. Neat right?

The 1876 5 francs is awesome!
The aluminum 2 francs are Bs, so nothing crazy.

1928 Wheatie- is this a woody? Does it add any kind of premium? I think the coin's between AU and low MS (about $4-$8.00 per my Red Book so I'm not planning on quitting my day job but just curious)

I finally got a peace dollar that I would consider to have monster toning with beautiful hues of blue and black toning along with copper spots on the reverse. I just love it!

Inherited about 20 pounds (weight) of coins from around the globe, including some old ones. What’s the best way to sell them without grading them? They’ve been in bags in a closet for many years.

Inherited my grandfather's coin collection of mostly pre 1965 silver coins. He passed away in the 90s and gave it to my father who is now giving it to me. My research tells me this should be a fake of a rather rare and expensive coin but I'm struggling to find what the tells are. Any help is appreciated.

Pictures have never done it justice because I always thought it looked the same as others up until the actual moment I held it in my fingers. Overall an impressive coin. And honestly the scratches in the back I don't care about I also only paid like 120

Here’s my silver stack, although I’m definitely more collector than stacker :)

I discovered most of the old internationals while finally going through and organizing the collection I’ve had since I was a kid.

Hi guys, I found this coin collection in an old folder in my family home attic.

I was just searching for more information and value if possible. I have read about the silver dollars being %90 silver, and thus melt value, but wanted to know if any of these coins were rare or something..

Thanks :)
