Last week I won a lot on ebay about 3lbs of old silver coins and
what do you know the first silver dollar I pull out of the bag is a 1893-s morgan dollar.
So I jumped in my truck and went to the coin shop up the street.
Two guys looked at it and said its not a fake.
one of them said you can tell buy the scratch in the y in liberty because all of them have it.
I myself are still not sure and hope that some of you can take a look at it just to be shure.
Now if I could only remember how to post pictures from inkfrog.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Looks real, nice catch!

Edited to add: Now that images have been posted, I will say that the date and mintmark look ok, as in genuine, from what I can see.

I have found some more nice coins.
1892 barbor quarter looks to be au-ms
1914 barbor half dollar could be xf
1895-s barbor dime in good.
lots of others.
I feel like a 10 year old on christmas morning.
and I still have a lot to look at.
Mike.
Even a 93-s in that grade will net you min 1k. also I see you mention the 95-s Dime and the 14 Barber half.
great finds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"There was one silver dollar 1893 in its own case, as well as one 1889 dime, and they are included."
I guess you took a chance that the 93 might be a S mint and scored. Nice
Maybe I should email the seller this thread so they can kick themself in the butt for not bothering to find out what they were selling.
14 barbor halfs three are full liberty.
24 liberty nickels meny with full liberty with some luster.
lots of nice coins here.
No please dont email them.
Thay were verry happy with the money thay got from this lot
so why spoil it for them.
I think I will email them and let them know
that I am verry happy with the coins and that some
of them were verry nice and worth more then what thay sold for.
I will let them know that if thay are going to sell enymore coins to please spend
some time to try to find out what thay are worth before thay sell them. I will also offer eny help I can.
I just do not want to make them feel like thay are being made fun of.
Thanks again, Mike
