A NEW COIN FREND
I have a co-worker who just put his toe in the coin market he got 10 morgans from someone who sad they got them from there dad but he let me look at them they did not look that good to me and the dates just did not come out so i look at some books and ask some guys about the dates and now i think that they are fakes you know how i feel about fakes that is why we all have to point them out and tell everyone who is selling them and make sure people don,t buy them because if we don,t clean it up it will clean us out ,

George-What is it about the Morgan's that leads you to believe they may be fakes? What are the dates, and (if you don't mind my asking) how much was paid for the coins?

Wow....well, there wasn't a CC produced in either 1887, 1894 or 1897. And as you probably know by now, the 1877 is not a Morgan. Without the ability to actually see the coins, I would hazard a guess and say that your co-worker may have been had...

Let's not forget that New orleans never minted any Trade dollars, so the 1877-O didn't exist in any form.

My son called me before Thanksgiving & told me that a liqueur store owner had just bought several coins from an unknown customer. He wanted me to take a look @ them as did the store owner (he knows next to nothing about coins). I told him they had to be stolen or fake, but I would take a look @ them when I came down for Thanksgiving. I knew right away they were fake just by the weight, thickness, dates, mint marks & flaws in the obverse & reverses. . All the sets I looked @ were the same-8 coins in coin holder Pages. I then had to laugh when the six sets I looked @ had all the same variety of coins (1921 peace with what looks like a d mint mark-lol, 1888 Morgan cc, 1906 Statue of Liberty p ( not sure why this one was included), 1874 cc trade dollar, 1847 dollar cc, 1804 dollar ( he had more than 6-LOL), 1878 100 cents not sure this coin exists as many of the others don't, 1873 trade dollar with wrong obverse & reverse. All were cast counterfeits. None were meant to deceive a collector, but with a naked eye to a novice they could have looked real. I don't think the owner was part of the scam. I think he got taken. A customer came in while I had the coins out looking @ them & purchased a set even though I & the store owner (by now I had convinced him they were fake) told him they were fake. His reply was they looked real to him & there might be a few that were authentic & contained silver. If I thought the store owner was involved I would have reported it to authorities. I hope this was an isolated incident!!!
