Fake Morgan Silver Dollars - How to Find Them!

  • In this video I talk about fake morgan silver dollars and how to find them. I show off the precious coin tester app and I also use my sigma machine to test morgan silver dollars. The fake morgan silver dollar weight might be off, but the ping test is easier to use. The fake morgan dollars from china can be magnetic or not. If you see cheap morgan dollars under market value then they might be fake morgan dollars for sale. I do show off a fake morgan dollar example and a real morgan dollar example in this video. Fake silver can be found in fake silver bars, fake silver coins, or fake silver dollars. There are also fake silver rounds and these can be found on ebay or many other online sights. Fake silver eagles are popular and they can be found using the precious coin tester that I show off in this video. The precious coin tested app uses sound to see if a coin is fake or not. Fake morgan dollars will typically have a higher pitch that regular morgan silver dollars. The fake morgan silver dollar weight should be off as well. As I say in the video watch out from fake morgan silver dollars from ebay buy not buying things that are shipping from china.

    How does the machine know if a coins is actually silver pre 1900s and not 90% silver but new?

    • @thisismonitor4099
      @thisismonitor4099 9 днів тому +1

      Good question and the answer is that IF the new coin is 90% silver AND 10% copper as those Morgans were it won't be able to tell the difference at all. But if its 90% silver and some other stuff like zinc etc it WILL be able to tell.
      The very best fakes of very valuable coins will indeed be correct silver composition. Some of the better ping apps MIGHT be able to tell the difference if there is a slight composition anomaly but its not easy.
      For those super valuable coins only knowledge and experience will properly tell you if its real as it will be indeed made of silver and will indeed be clearly minted - hence the only way to be sure of those is to buy authenticated ones by the top 4 guys (and CAC if in the US).
      PCGS and NGC especially will NOT slab something if there is any doubt at all - I have given them a couple of coins that I am 99% confident are genuine that have come back authenticity unverified - that means they think its probably real but they will not guarantee it, as opposed to questionable authenticity (they think its fake but they cannot be sure) or counterfeit (they are sure its fake).

    I always do three tests. Weight, ping and magnet. You can’t always rely on the ping test. I had a silver eagle that sounded like a dud. Weight was good and it passed the magnet test. But as per your video the magnet test can be iffy as well. Took it to a coin shop and they tested it on the same machine you have and it tested out good :) So if anyone has any doubts when testing take it to a local LCS and have it tested if you don’t have a metal verifier machine.

    I just bought five 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar's that came in a slab pack.
    Right off the bat, I could see that they were likely dipped in something to try to make them look older---this stuff rubbed off easily with finger nail.
    Next, I weighed them----25.3 grams----26.7 grams are the true weight of a legit Morgan.
    I had bid on these coins, and lost, however Ebay sent me a "Second Chance," saying the original winner didn't pay????
    Well, I smelled a fishy fish and still got stink all over me.
    Like our host says here: If it seems to good to be true, look elsewhere.

    I was worried since I couldn't hear the ping you made on either coin, but I pulled out a 1-ozt Aztec Calendar .999 silver round and pinged it with first a metal envelope opener and then a small screwdriver (also metal). I heard the ping. So I'll blame UA-cam for not passing along the pings you made, but also suggest you not use a fake coin to ping a real coin. To test both, use something neutral and nonjudgmental (a knitting needle, an exacto knife, etc.).

Ironic the Chinese got the chin wrong... sorry bad joke. and the overall worn down look doesn't line up with the lack of damage. There is an overall lack of details yet almost no damage to the features and fields.
