We buy a lot of High Relief Peace during this season of their rising prices. As a result, we ran into these fake dollars. Here is how we spotted they were fake and we hope we teach you a few things to do and also avoid when purchasing coins!

Message me on either FB or IG! Would love to talk coins!
Always good to watch videos like this. Helps train your collector eye. Thanks for doing this video. 👍
Happy to do it. Sometimes stuff like this helps me more then it hurts!
I swear that the more I watch these videos, the more suspicious I am on my own collection.
Haven’t purchased and cartwheels in 10 years. Afraid
You can use the "Archimedes principle" to measure the density of your coins. Pure silver has a density of 10.49 g/cm^3. .900 silver should have 10.31 g/cm^3. Density = mass (dry weight) divided by volume (weight hanging in water). Water should be at 0.998 g/cm^3 at 20°C. Easy way to find out if it is really silver! 😉👍🏻
Somebody tried selling me a fake one yesterday thanks for the info .without this video I would have lost money
Thanks for sharing your experience and signs of the fake ones.
Glad you enjoyed the video! It’s no fun, but it’s good to learn and watch for.
Ouch!
I immediately checked a few of my ‘21 Morgan’s hoping not to find a 1921-O.
You wouldn’t be able to simply weigh any coins first if you’re buying them off FB. 🤷🏽♂️
Good Luck Man 👊🏽
Glad you didn’t find any 1921-O’s!
Thanks for the educational video
What about a 1885 one dollar can you do a video on it.
Thnx friend. Good info❤❤❤
I have a dollar without the point between E and P.
What do you think?
On the morgan. Once u saw it have a ( o ) why would u buy.
You point out a significant differences with the real and fake Peace dollars. Genuine business strikes have curved edges between the rim and the reeding. Fakes, often have flat, square rims, as found on 19th and early 20th century proof strikes.This crispness often contrasts with rough adjacent fields and rim lettering. It these contrasts that 'jump out' for educated collectors.
I just use the scale and weighed the one I had it was 27. Is that normal?
Reinforces why buying raw coins off eBay or Facebook is full of risk. I know slabs can be faked as well, but you can at least check the certification numbers on PCGS and NGC sites (and see true views in some circumstances) to authenticate. It’s why so far, I’ve stuck with purchasing slabbed coins in the Morgan and Peace arena.
Slabbed coins are the way to go with online sales, unless you know the dealers intentions and integrity personally. I normally online buy raw coins at shows. Seems like there are hundreds of things that can be wrong with a coin. Its good to see it up close. This is a great comment.
I wish I was closer to a metropolitan area where there might be some shows but I’m not so I buy online but I’m learning more about what to look for with fakes and cleaned coins with the aid of videos like this one, thanks.
After you see and feel Morgans fore a while you can esaley detect fake from real!
The sound is usually off also. But just compare a real one next to a freak 1 and it is impossible for the forger to get all of the characteristics proper you will see the fake
I was in a coin store about a year ago and they has a small machine that looked like a scale almost that was able to detect precious metals silver, gold etc...
Yes there are metal verifiers used for coin authentication but they are expensive to buy and many of us would rather use other ways to verify whether a coin is real or not.
@@hermancm Thanks
Thank you for sharing.
It’s always a pleasure. Really lucky to be able to do so!
No ping test? No calipers?
There’s only about a dozen 1922 high relief peace dollars in existence. A guy on Pawn Stars sold his for $80k. These are some of the most rarest coins in American history.
And the 1921 Peace Dollar is a beautiful coin, as well.
Fake silver dollars can still fool me on just the sight of them.
But U.S. gold, is almost undetectable without use of a loupe,calipers and scale. Xray spectrometer use is the perfect way to go.
Thanks for the content. Faking a U.S. Coin is a Federal Crime and should land your seller in JAIL. Also, the sound of the fakes were a dead give-a-way too.
Thanks ... I've a 1922... no idea if it's valuable. And a 1925.
thanks for the info. And you have been eating well. :)
I found 2 fake Carson city dollars at my LCS 2 weeks ago.
Also a year ago found a fake 1928 peace. So you bought those for educational purposes right?
I bought these online and they came in fake in the mail. Was out $400 for about 3 weeks but PayPal got it resolved. I turned these puppies into a learning experience for you and I!
I got taken for an Oregon Trail commemorative about a year ago. I bought it from a seller on Mercari who abscounded shortly thereafter. Lessons learned are sometimes painful. 😌
There are two brand new sellers right now selling Fake commemorative dollar coins on Mercari for like $44.00 each. They are grey and I can immediately tell they’re fake but a bunch of people have purchased them the last two days. I report them but nothing is done about it until it’s too late
@@parrotsandmore7446 yeah, I should have recognized mine as a fake, but I was blinded by the great deal.
Nice video. I only ran into one fake in my life. It was a Morgan and it did not weigh out too.
That's unfortunate you had that issue. Hopefully you got your money back.
@@AcoushaCollectibles Yes, money came back....
My 1964 Peace dollars passed the magnet test and the weight test. They had that oddball luster but there was an obvious reason they were fakes.
YOU HAVE 1964!!! THAT ONE SHOULDNT BE IN YOUR POSSESSION.
@@thinline8504 It is likely that someone has one of the supposedly destroyed 1964 Peace Dollars but they cannot show it because the government would confiscate the stolen property in the US. The three I have are obvious fakes because no one has even shown one genuine example. I may splurge for a Daniel Carr example if I come across some "mad money."
1964 d peace dollars are illegal to possess
Yes, yes it was made at the Philadelphia
mine weighted like 19 grams lmao, spotted fake right away cuz something just didn't feel right
Good video! You will get better with time and experience. You’ll be able to spot a fake without it in hand. Also, I’m sure you’ve heard from others, oils from your hands will in time affect the coins you touch. 🧤
Thank you for the comment. With these groups of coins I have no reason for using a glove based on its condition. With higher end stuff, I touch the edge and can easily removed finger prints if need be. PCGS and NCC graders also don’t use gloves when handling coins. Just a cosmetic instrument based on the industry standard
I have 0ne 4 sale and I ts it rea
I have a 1923 and it weighs 27.0
Boy I know how you feel. 😩 been there done it
It’s the worst! 😅 Hopefully it worked out for you! 🙏🏻
1921-O Morgan! Now that's a coin!
🤣🤣🤣
Tengo la moneda de la paz de un dólar américano en plata del año 1922 (D)
I have one I'm trying to see how much it's worth mine weigh 26.9
That looks to be a good weight. Double check a few websites and take it to a local coin shop
@@AcoushaCollectibles I had it appraised they said it work 15 16 dollars I'll keep it for that price it's crazy it's almost 100 years old and hasn't appreciated in value
1921o mint Morgan 🤣 haha
Reminds me of a 1886cc I got in a lot on eBay years ago
Haha, isn’t that the worst 😂🔥
1903 cc is even worse!
1878 o lol!!!
I have one that weighs 30g
Bellissime coins, sono monete che non ho in collezione, ma almeno una di "one dollar peace" dovrò comprarla anche per presentarla nel mio canale di numismatica.Complimenti per il video e canale youtube. I subscribed and "liked".

Bill Carson 1922 peace it's raw
Thank u for sharing...
No problem Diane.
I have here sir and im still looking for a buyer..
Im from the phillipines
And the Secret Service doesn’t investigate this counterfeiting. Why? Because it doesn’t threaten the economy the way paper counterfeiting might.
wow nice 👍👍👍
Lots of Morgan’s on FB. Fakes
I have original 1922 coin dollar and i plan to sell it
Not for me Diane but thank you for watching.
I'm surprised the fakes aren't super illegal to sell considering its counterfeit money
Me too! I might need to do more research on the laws they have on these. Its sad people do this!
It is illegal to possess counterfeit U.S. coins but the Secret Service is unlikely to break down your door if you have one.
Hi friend
do the ping test, that should help.
They had a cool ping test at ANA. Had an app associated. We are getting pretty sophisticated with finding fakes now adays.
THAT'S A 1921 COIN
now that i saw this im worried i bought a fake high relief peace dollar and i paid over 100 dollars for it
send me a photo if you need help clarifying Charles. Magnet test might work also.
