Test the metals for magnetism by placing a magnet near it. If it is attracted by the magnet it is not a real silver dollar .Since silver is not magnetic, there must be other metals in it such of iron, nickel, or zinc.

Since the US Mint didn't produce Morgan dollars that weighed a pound, you can't simply look if the image doesn't look right because they were made by multiple private mints and there are no specifications for it so you will simply have to take it to a jeweler and have it acid tested.
