The doubling is evident on both sides so it may be from multiple striking. Or it could be doubling in the die or mold from which it was made.

There are some other very odd things about this coin: notched letter bases in "UNITED" (typically seen on broad-strikes); narrow rims with missing and/or irregular dentils in some areas; very flat relief; and rusty-looking corrosion.

I believe it is a counterfeit and might not be made of silver. The question is, is it a vintage counterfeit or not. A vintage counterfeit would have some value. It does not match any previously-known (VAM-listed) counterfeit.

Can you post a picture of the edge ?

Interesting !!!

2.73 grams light.....That seems a bit much for 'wear' on that coin. I am leaning to fake... Cheers, RickO

That's a lot of missing weight. I'm thinking it may be a counterfeit as well

Right now, the 1896-O Morgan Dollar is one of the more common modern counterfeits out there. This one has several points that leads me to believe this coin is a modern fake. Well, actually it's over whelming.

Looks like a Chinese-made fake to me.

OP has been posting and selling counterfeits in our front lawns for a while now. His true intention is not about the authentication of this coin. Surprisingly that our mods haven't take any action.

Crappy counterfeit made by an ignorant boob.

Horrible fake; not even close.

Double struck counterfeit - based on the photos.

Fake and a bad one.

The coin might be unbelievable, but believe me when I tell you that if the weight displayed on the scale is correct the piece is fake.

Respect to all comments and to yours attention

Fake right from the get-go. Look at the narrow rims and low relief.

mkman123 · July 21, 2018 11:34AM

guys don't give OP any help. He peddles fakes all the time on the board. Look at turbosnails post above mine AND also go look at the OPs post history!!!
