Check the edge to see if it has been made by joining the reverse sides of two coins. It may also just be another modern counterfeit that is coming out of Asia.

Has the look of a CHinese counterfeit.

It was made using two coins for flipping. They also exist with two heads and are made in different denominations of coins. Usually one coin is milled out and another coin is cut down so it can be dropped into the milled out coin. You can see the seam just inside the rim.

Definitely a counterfeit coin was used to make what is called a magicians coin. It's easy to see that the eagles head doesn't match a genuine Morgan dollar. If you look closely, you can see the seam along the top where one coin was hollowed out and the other reverse was fitted. You can also see the difference were the denticles don't match

How in the world could we possibly answer your question about a two sided coin when you only post one side?

Using the phrase 'silver colour' in the title tells me all I would need to know.
Agree. The wording throws down red flags.
That is the British spelling of color.
What date is the coin?
Interesting.
It's not a Morgan Dollar. Chinese trinket.

He told us they both look the same. Duh.
Most likely a fake.
@Buckyboy.... Welcome aboard.... No doubt it is a fake... and probably not even real silver. I hope you did not lose much money on this purchase. Cheers, RickO
