I don't know how many have seen this particular fake, so I bring it to the attention of those who care.

What indicates this coin is fake?

maybe a bad cast? im not sure

Yes, looks cast.

Soft lettering and devices, blob on "E" on obv., wrong mint mark style are just a few of many wrong features.

The “biggest” coin dealer told me my 03-S has an added S:

The "S" looks real. Possibly the rest of the coin was added.

Your coin looks good to me, am I missing something?

If you look closely, you'll see that KollectorKing did not pay full price for the coin. That's why he got only the added "S" and not the added "SVDB."

More like what doesn't look fake.

Best coin joke of the day. Take a bow.

My brother in law collects raw Morgan's and I always like showing him photos of fakes so he can learn what to look for when buying one.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, but the best way to learn to spot fakes is to look at many genuine coins, first. When you know what the coins are supposed to look like, spotting the fakes becomes much easier.
