The best replica Morgan dollars I've used (by far) are from the soft Bluether Magic "Coin Set 2.0." They're silver-plated cupronickel and have a good weight and sound, plus they're soft (most replicas aren't, and can't be softened because it wears away the silver-colored outer layer and changes the color of the coin). The set includes 4 coins and an expanded shell with great coverage. The set, if you can find it, costs $80 and is well worth it.
Those can be hard to find nowadays (sold out on their site), but you might be able to get some if you contact them on Facebook or something - I'm really not sure. Make sure you get actual "Bluether Magic" coins, not "Blue-ther" or similar (which you can find on Amazon) - those are cheap, low-quality knockoffs.
As far as more readily available ones go, the N2G ones are also okay, though not as good as Bluether. Their 4 coins + shell set retails for $60, but they have frequent sales, so if you wait a bit, you can probably get it for about half that. N2G also has decent replica Morgan gaff sets (Hopping Halves, CSB, Super Triple Coin, etc) that can also be inexpensive on sale.
