Started this silver dollar collecting three years ago, sat down today to make a list of all my Morgan's in the replaced, with higher grade coins and found a counterfeit 1884-P. Purchased in September 2020, the listing was a bit goofy... 1884-P Morgan dollar very fine-MS. Cost was only $44.99, when I got it in the mail it seemed a bit heavy, only slightly worn with a odd grey brassy color, the readed edge was so sharp it could be used as a tool file. Was forced to pound it into the Whitman folder because it's a tad larger, replacing it years later with a graded mint state coin. Also purchased a 1878-s Trade dollar that was fake, had a dull grey fuzzy look to it, did not ring the correct note, and had dozens of little tiny pits. With a bargin 20X microscope could see the inside of the pits was in fact very nice copper. ***For the past month, and today we have a seller who is buffing fine, to AU Morgan dollars with diamond dust, creating nice cartwheels.*** How many 1880's New Orleans dollars in fine condition have cartwheels..... ZERO. Be careful folks, read up on fakes, counterfeits, replica's.
