| i think the coin is fake, i was told by a reputable dealer before that one way to look at a coin is to check its surface if its "bubbly" or "grainy"... how about trying a magnet, if it sticks, its definitely fake.. but then the best way to check is really weighing the coin... | |

| Fake Looks 20 Gramm instead of 26. Long time not seen such cheap copy. Some years ago a friend bought me some from angeles 30 peso each. They looked excatly the same. Check the wight.. | |

| I agree w/ the 2 earlier opinions.
I own 20+ Morgans and none look anywhere near this coin, the rims is a dead giveaway.
Likewise, the surface ( as seen on the photo) looks "grainy". This is generally the surface of cheap fakes made in China coins i've seen.
Just my 2cents. | |
