  So how can you tell it is counterfeit? The pics are so blurry I can't hardly see anything at all.

  it is a poor quality counterfeit, so to the trained eye, that type of counterfeit shouldn't take but a couple seconds to identify.

  to help you out, start at the date with this one. i'd recommend other features but the light would make it too hard for someone learning to identify. if you had it in-hand, next to an authentic one, there would simply be no question, even to the untrained. also check out the mintmark. this year didn't come with that small style/size. you can download THIS/THESE images to help you with morgan CC detection.

  link for future reference.
