I vote is real. 26.6 grams is correct for this year and mint.

A friend purchased for $10 at a flea market today.... If it is real, you may want to look at the coin through that lens... if fake, then I agree with you....
Real (based on what I see in those photos). Date and mintmark positions seem consistent with VAM-4. Also, the date font looks to be correct and it doesn't have the usual fuzziness of a lot of the counterfeits.
real.......................score!
I don't know anything about Morgans, but general morphology looks OK to me. Rims make me think it might have been in some jewelry or a belt buckle at some point.
Ugly is a matter of perspective - I like it!
If made out of silver the buyer is already showing a profit. Looks like it could be real to me. I'd have taken the chance.
Real
Though I think the obverse looks genuine, there's something about the reverse that has me wondering if this might be a fake. The eagles head is especially suspect. I may be wrong of course! Great score if it is real!

It looks real to me.
$10 well-spent! Congrats to your friend.
Thanks to all for checking in...he bought 10 Morgan dollars for $100! Two others of note, are a 1882 CC VG/ 1879 CC G/ obviously this would be the icing. I'll have the coin in hand on Friday...if looks good, will send on to our hosts for authentication. A good week to all- RJ
Looks authentic .... Do not see any apparent evidence of counterfeiting... MM looks right.. Worn but real. Cheers, RickO
