Post it on Etsy. Anyone who buys off that site will surely buy it 😂 For some reason I think the seller knew himself what he had wasn’t real and sold it to you at what the replica is actually worth to someone who wants a Morgan dollar but doesn’t. I guess it really would top your unluck if the guy hit it big off your $10🤣
If he did I never saw a dime from it lol.

Yes indeed. There's no way you'd ever get any Morgan for $10, let alone a key date. This is a sure sign that the OP needs to do a lot more homework before buying any more coins. I hate to say it, but this is a spectacular error that almost falls under the realm of common sense in the coin world. The 1895-S Morgan is a well known key date coin and has been for decades. OP....please do more reading and research on coins before you make any more purchases that aren't certified by NGC or PCGS. You're lucky this was only a $10 mistake. It could have been a lot more. Certainly, the seller has blame here, but in this instance, the OP does as well because of the clear lack of proper research and education before making coin purchases.
I haven't done much reading or just looking on Morgans. I've only ever had one, I think. Around 20 yrs ago. That's when my so called dad stole all of my old coins and bills. So, yes I am understudied. I definitely need more knowledge. So I'm reading and listening to as many old money videos and even comparing them. So, I am trying.

I appreciate all the great advice and comments. So thank you all.

Anyone looking for super high grade (MS67-68)... you will get a better price on the silver editions. Clad gets pricey in business strikes in high grade. Proofs also come beautiful and economical when compared to their Philly and Denver counterparts.
Always looking for nice coins. If proof coins it has to be; then as long as I'm within my budget I should have no issues finding them.

You will find that the penny,nickel and dime have no visible difference from ordinary issues. There’s 3- coin sets from the mint as well. I agree that the clad can be had $10-20 slabbed 69. $20-35 for silver It’s overlooked and a good value happy hunting 👍🏼
Thank you very much

I believe I have the quarter, it is clad. Dime, nickel, and penny I may have. A lot of coins to go through.

Just a little harsh aren't you? I know the old saying "if it's to good to be true, then it probably is". If you could who actually make that much of a holder's collections? I didnt have scales on me. Weighing coins along with other weighed things......think that woultve had a negative reactions so blind unlucky.

I’m sorry but this one is on you. Shame on the seller for sure, but how did you expect to get an authentic 1895-S Morgan for $10? Any Morgan has more base silver than that, much less a hard date. Do more research before you buy my friend. Best $10 education you will ever get.
Guy looked like he was down an out on his luck at a casino; he offered it to me for 10

Too many counterfeit coins from China. Rule of thumb: Morgan’s will not sell for less than the silver melt value plus a premium. Sorry this happened to you. Seen a lot of these lately. Do you have any recourse to get your money back?
With it only being ten bucks. Nothing would be done even if I did

Now that we've admitted to playing games, I'm officially done with this thread. Unless it's an ultra cameo proof or an amazingly high grade circulation strike, there's nothing special about a 1964 cent anyway. I'm a proponent of mean what you say and say what you mean....there's no need to play games. Your coin is what it is regardless.
I apologize. Just wanted to see actually. Not just what they think they see.

By the way, both 1964 cents shown in this thread by Tridmn are 1964 proofs. The first one is just nicer, that’s all. He hasn’t shown us any 1964 business strikes, although billions are out there. He hasn’t shown us a 1964 SMS because this is one area in which Roger and I agree - there ain’t no such a thing. I reserve the right to change my mind if shown one and it is instantly distinguishable from an initial die strike business strike, but I don’t expect that to ever happen.
What does exist are 1964 proof cents that are so lacking in mirrored fields that they don’t even look like proofs. If you want to call those SMS, I can’t stop you. That doesn’t make it accurate. The poor field 1964 proofs EXACTLY resemble 1965 SMS cents, and I own about 10-12 of them. A crummy proof does not an SMS make.
They actually are the same coin shot in different lighting conditions. So all pics are of the proof coin. I was merely asking. No need in being rude please. I do appreciate the very important information. I knew it was a proof, but just waited until you chimed in to say something. Do not think me an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. I have done research and found it to basically be a "fraud" of an SMS. Possibly one out there, but will never be seen. This is a beautiful coin and I added it to my collection. It has a brilliance for that year that I have not seen. So "Ernie" -burt dont haggle lol. Ty for letting me bring you down a notch. You underestimate me sir.

From the pics, the top one looks like a proof and the bottom is a business strike. No SMS coins there. The "1964 SMS" issue is a controversial one but regardless of the controversy, a "1964 SMS", if it exists at all, isn't going to be anything you would just find out in the wild. You have a perfectly normal proof and a perfectly normal business strike.
According to what I have researched there were no business strike for that particular year. With newer pics along with original pics, would this be worth grading?
