A "Good" Fake Morgan Silver Dollar! Here is how to detect Counterfeit silver!

I've watched this twice. At different dates. And I just want to say is thank you for educating me.

What a great video. I had no idea there were so many ways to verify whether a silver dollar is real, or fake. Thank you for making this video.

My dad had a peace dollar he thought was real for the longest time. And I put a magnet to it and it stuck and he was pretty upset about it. I bought him a real one for Christmas..

Good video, but why the compulsion to add background music? It dramatically reduces the watchability.

Man....silver coins pinging together is just as satisfying as an M1 Garand ping

Loved your video, especially the ping test. For me, it is the best example on youtoube to illustrate the different pitches of fake vs. real. My conclusion is that scale, caliber and ping test is all you need to find 99% of all fakes. No expensive testing equipment needed.

Whose brilliant idea was it to have loud music in the background while you're performing the ring test?

In the 1970s, my grandfather worked in a liquor store. When interesting coins would come in, he would buy them out of the register for face value and give them to my brother and me. I've got 3 Morgan silver dollars and I've been looking at them lately. I did the ring test this morning as I had just learned about it. 2 of them ring beautifully. One makes a horrible 'thud' :D I think I've got a fake! :D

Your music is to loud for ring test I can't hear.

A dealer on ebay sent me 100 silver dollars and 20 of them where fake . I filed a complaint and got a refund

remove the ctrap music in the background, really annoying when listening to something interesting

Great video. I am just getting into collecting Morgan’s and these videos really help in my search!

Can't hear the Ring test music too loud

This was the most helpful video about finding out the true authenticity of a real silver dollar those measurements took away what little doubt I had then the ring test I had a peace dollar to use against my Morgan but it worked . Even though the peace is so much thinner I couldn’t believe there’s that much difference but all 3 of my peace dollars ring and are all the same diameter but thinner . Thank you so much for going through all the details the way you did I’ve learned a lot more from this one video than I did others I’m likening and subscribing !

I would like to see a somewhere a video or study of the variances of VF MINT non circ High Grade Morgans, width, diameter and weight. Now on your video, If that coin was cleaned and to bare metal like when new the .09 could be gone. Oh and another thing, ( if your familiar with Metal detectors..... you can Target ID a real Morgan vs. a fake one ). Example using a Teknetics metal detector with digital ID. The metal detectors with analog meters are harder to read. These should show up right at the same number and will show a difference in the numbers if other metals are being used. PS. your video is the most put together out of all I've seen, GREAT JOB !

I was given a Morgan dollar very similar to what you have shown. I also noticed that if you take your fingernail you can rub/scratch off the gray fake patina.

I got eleven silver dollars from my grandparents from their wedding and gave them to me! <3 Thx for teaching me wich ones were fake "none were fake."

I just bought a scale and it is very useful in detecting fraud coins 👍

Yeah this really helped find out if my coin was fake Thx <3

First thing that I noticed is on the good coin the letters in Liberty are evenly spaced, the fake coin they are uneven and "erty" in Liberty are shoved together.
