Default Old coins dropped in kettle likely worthless, dealer says

The 1878 Morgan Dollar depicts Lady Liberty with
"E Pluribus Unum" -- meaning, "Out of many,
one -- on the front of the coin. On the other side,
the silver dollar has "Goloid Metric" spelled out
in the center. This proves that it is likely a
trial or experimental piece, which has little to
no value.

===================
As to the 1878 Morgan and Goloid Metric, a proof sold for 2,760 so it
could have some value (if real)?

Unfortunately these are worthless fakes sold on Ebay by Chinese
counterfeiters.
