I'd like to know the identity of the 29000-Feedback bidder who is bidding on so many of them, and how that person is managing to average bidding on almost 200 different coins per day.....

the photo is something that represents what you could get. Maybe he bought a lot of them at once. maybe the photo is the best looking one. He clearly states that in the description that the coin in the photo is something similar to what you will get.

If those pictures represent what you will receive, don't expect anything genuine, as the Morgan shown in all those auctions is a very bad chinese counterfeit.

I got a call the other day from ebay about an account I haven't used in about 2 years. They said they would like to offer me $100 ebay cash to buy anything I want. What does that say?

Yeah, I used that word with direct intent, Kid. It precisely defines ebay's actions these days, in regard to both their published rules (illustrated here; stock images of coins are prohibited under their rules) and in regard to their new obligations under the amendments to the Hobby Protection Act.

Abdicated, indeed.

I doubt he is selling fake morgans. He says its an example plus if you look at his feedback he has purchase history with reputable dealers.

Can't see the slab label.
Apparently the coins have no reverse.
The starting prices really caught my eye.

The stock 1885 looks to my eye like it originated from a Chinese mint ... Check out the "rounded" numerals in the date. The overall flatness of the strike and off-colored surface add to my suspicion. Anyone else think so?

One thing I have learned with ebay over the years probably applies here. If in doubt, if AT ALL in doubt about a coin or a seller - walk away, move on, say no more. If your instincts tell you something is fishy, follow those instincts. Maybe you are wrong, but maybe you are right and there are plenty of other opportunities on ebay to get what you want from a reputable seller.

Very well put KenKat. I'm seeing red flags all over this
