    Thank you Greenstang and JKK for looking at this half-cent going into my fake coin album.
  10. GoldBear150
    This is my first half-cent that i come across. The "L" is a little bit off when i researched and compare with other pictures on my, red book and NGC Coin explorer. Is the half cent genuine or non-genuine?

    I will do my best JKK. My father introduced me to the hobby it a 1oz silver kookaburra and a silver eagle. I understand that counterfeiters are really good at making fake merchandise been seeing that around in the 2000s and till present day from working at my father's business career. I had one customer brought in a fake Morgan dollar that was graded Ms-63 and it turn out to be fake after we did some research and ask a couple of friends we know. Nonetheless i appreciate it.

    Thank you JKK i understand it now, I will do that from now on. i will create each coin from there own separate thread. One question JKK do you guys recommend a book for beginners watching out for counterfeits? I'm still new to the hobby and i have blue and red books 2020.

    After looking the penny's Mint-mark is a little close to the number 9. I'm having a hard time if the penny is real or fake. I weight the penny on my scale and it turned out to be 3.1g. Any insight would help i appreciated it.
  17. GoldBear150
    I weight the coin on my scale. 25.2g.
  18. GoldBear150
    Yes 40% is what i expected for this.The customer went to another coin dealer to have it checked out. They did the test and it came out 90% as well after the test they were hesitant of taking it in.

    This Coin came to my shop a few days back and i tested it with a sigma metalytics verifier. I have it run at 90% percent Because the customer told me it's 90%. and it passed which surprised me a bit. I searched on my red book for more information and only i come across is clad Eisenhower dollars.

    $20.00 Lesson learned. This one caught me off guard because of the weight. Going to keep this coin in my fake coin album so i do not make a mistake like this again.
  21. GoldBear150
    I put two nickles on my scale. It weights 9.9g.
  22. GoldBear150
    I try the magnet test and a sigma metalytics machine. First the magnet did not pick up the morgan.Second the machine verified it is silver.
  23. GoldBear150
    I have a scale to weight it. It weights:18.2g
  24. GoldBear150
    This Morgan dollar weights very light when i picked it up. I try comparing with my other Morgan dollars for reference. here some pictures front and back of the dollar.
  25. GoldBear150
