I couldn't help noticing, that when the OP finally "woke," he didn't bother to thanks the experienced folks here who were very patient in trying to educata him.
I'll add a little story to what @CaptHenway wrote.
It was bad in the 70's. One nationally known authentication "ex-pert" (We named him Ol' Cracked Eye behind his back) was calling genuine coins and even US coins counterfeit or altered. After about six months of joining the staff at the Authentication Service in DC, I realized after two huge (consultant) blunders that many of the dealer consultants, including Cracked-Eye, we had been using could not reliably authenticate the coins we sent them. Soon after, we stopped using 70% of them and verified the opinions of the consultants we continued to use for ourselves with comparison coins.
We learned a lot from knowledgeable consultants (a few were advanced collectors and not dealers) and the further research we had to do at shows or museum collections.

it’s pretty tough to eat a crow the size of an ostrich.
Understood, yet I still don’t get how the coin counterfeiter would be able to create an even stronger strike

Casting is not used to make a (good) transfer die.
There should be some posts or videos on methods like electrotyping and spark erosion which create fairly accurate transfer dies.
Many prooflike Morgan dollars exist. Probably the best way to learn would be to have a prooflike, and proof in hand to example details like the rim and reeding up close.

IIRC, so far the only one that's shown up was in a Czechoslovakian auction
The reverse doubling gave away the fact that the coin is a fake.

Have you gotten the results?

This is my favorite thread ever on pcgs. I just read through the whole thing a 2nd time.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE YOU’VE SCAMMED ON INSTAGRAM? WILL YOU BE GIVING THEM A FULL REFUND?
It's because it's a cast not a strike.
