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 👊🏽

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.

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.

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.

@@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."

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
