1889 date does not look right at all. Font, size, spacing all adds up to F A K E !

easy to figure out, where did you buy it, and how much did you pay for it? it's easily a 1,000$ coin in that condition,,
but you already know it is fake..

I have a genuine 1889 CC, and that coin is without question 100% FAKE.

Thanks for all your help guys! I did pick it up for 40$ on ebay, I took a chance. The guy was a new seller who just listed the item and it was coming from Mar Del Plata, Argentina. At least I didn't blow like 200 on it.  Though I wonder why somebody would go through all that effort to create a counterfeit just to sell it for 40 dollars. Guess I should go complain to ebay at this point. |

Is there a chance for returning the item? From Argentina, I'm guessing no. We've all fallen victim to some sort of coin problem so don't let it get you down. You've found a great place in CCF to avoid this in the future - don't hesitate to get input from the experts in the various areas before spending big money on anything.
I've found that someone will counterfeit ANYTHING that they think they can make a dollar with. And, at the very least, you have a counterfeit Morgan to use for educating other new collectors in the future.

Bump, thanks for the encouragement. I would try to return it but the seller doesn't accept returns. I'll just take up ebay on their money back guarantee. In regards to slider, I was hoping that some guy found it in his attic or something and needed a quick buck. If it's too good to be true, it probably is! |

File a Significantly Not as Described (SNAD) claim describing the coin as a counterfeit. Include the fact that it is grams underweight and that that is 21 times the allowed deviation. ebay almost always sides with the buyer on a SNAD claim and will require that a refund be made. This is why stating in yur auctions that returns are not accepted is meaningless. All the buyer has to do is file a SNAD claim and they get their return. |

It would be a lot easier if you just say that you never received the item. That way, you don't need to ship back a counterfeit coin neither.

It may be easier, but it is not true. So what? You want him to send back a counterfeit coin so it can be sold again? The main goal is to get the money back. He's not deceiving anyone. If the coin is real and he says that he didn't received, then of course is a theft but that is not the case. |
