    ...are they real? I know you guys probably hate this more than anything but worst case you can see some nice pictures. I also did ton of googling to try to find out myself, they look okay...

    I just bought these off ebay, the peace dollar weights 26.6g right about where it is supposed to, the Morgan weighed 26.1g about .6gs under. I'm not looking to to buy anymore just want to rest assure these ones are good. Came with a regular Ike dollar and costs 40$ for all 3Thanks in advanced.

    They look real to me. the Peace dollar is within one gram because it doesn't look like it circulated that much. The Morgan dollar on the other hand....has seen some wear. The Morgan will actually loose some silver the more it has been circulated. Hope this helps!

    1894O is a scarce year on Morgans and more subject to be counterfeit, as mentioned above if it's 6g underweight then definitely base metal fake.

    sorry guys I meant .6 grams underweight. Does that make a difference? Any test I can do besides acid test to find out, I obviously first tried a magnet and both did fine. Had a very very slight pull.

    Thanks Serial! I've have got to choose my wording my carefully haha. I know that .6 and 6 grams is huge, I meant as far as the other issues with them. Thanks for the photos, I did compare many photos, magnet, weight test and ring test before posting them on here. Was doing it just in case someone had an eye for something I did not!

    These feel like my other 90% silver and look the part so I think they are real. The person mentioning rust has be concerned but I've scene patina in that same color.

    Also thanks for the input everybody!

    they are legit dude.. rust no, patina/ Sabi yes.. that looks like a coin i sold a year or so back.. had the same clean job on it anyway..

    be ultra careful getting those supposed MS specimens, have seen some mighty fine fakes CC's are especially prevalent.
