Unfortunately there's not a specific single identifier for a counterfeit Seated Liberty Dollar a couple of things most people can do is you can weigh the coin it should be 26.73 grams with a diameter of 38.1mm. But this does not guarantee it's authentic. I suggest submitting it to a third-party grading service

How can you tell if your 1886 cc silver dollar is authentic?

There are two simple methods to check. First is to weigh it. A genuine Morgan silver dollar should weigh 26.73 grams, though a worn one could weigh slightly less. More than a couple grams off would be suspect. Another method is to test with a magnet. Silver is non-magnetic, so real silver coins don't stick to magnets.
