Hello everyone,
I just got this coin from my family collection, and I'm curious to see if it's authentic or a replica.
Here's a picture of the coin (attached). I suspect it's an 1885 Morgan Dollar, but I'm not sure if the is authentic.

Characteristics:

Weight: 26.7 grams

Diameter: approximately 38mm

No obvious re-minting marks

Please help us out with the experts here. Thank you very much in advance!

    your link says it goes to a truck

    remove the link and just post a photo by dragging and dropping the picture into where you type

    it sounds like you already know what it is. "Morgan Dollar" is not on any us coin

    I did not and will not click the link, but I'm guessing it's a dump truck and not a Morgan dollar. :D

    Agreed - on the posted obverse image, the coin is clearly counterfeit, so no reverse image is needed.
