REAL OR FAKE? 0 Entry posted by namvette68 · January 23, 2020 1,680 views I am not a collector of Morgans. I have no clue, other than weight and sound, to check authenticity. I found this coin in a sub floor. I am hoping it is good, but won't be disappointed if it's a fake. Thank you 0
Whidbey Island Collection Posted January 23, 2020 Thanks for doing such a nice job on the photo. I am not a Morgan Dollar expert by any means, but in my opinion your coin is genuine. I believe your coin is a Breen 5647 (VAM-8) variety. Your mintmark is a medium oval with a slit opening which was used by the New Orleans mint in 1879-84 and again in 1888-89. Breen calls this variety "rare". I am not sure if this variety commands any premium or not. Andy (Whidbey Island Collection) Link to comment

namvette68 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I did not know it.I am not lucky enough to fine a genuine one, as I originally had hoped. I was told that the Chinese Panda is another victim of this reproduction idea One reason I do graded coins. I let the grading authority certify the them.
