Agree the one you received is a counterfeit and not the coin advertised. But even the seller's photos show a heavily photoshopped AU coin at best.

OK, so you bought one of the listed 1884-S Morgans from a (obviously bad...) seller with 3 left and 6 sold? Maybe you can pronounce the seller's name  ...  Looks like there were a couple to chose from:  I actually get tired of reporting these counterfeit sellers using other's images to sell their fakes...

Too good to be true with those prices. Tourist pieces from Hong Kong.

You are buying a 90% silver Morgan under the melt value on ebay from Hong Kong. That should put up a red flag that you are most likely going to get a cheap none silver counterfeit example. As noted above return to seller for refund. If you ask the seller to pay for return shipping on the counterfeit, the seller will most likely refund your money and will let you keep the coin.

The coin you received has the typical cartoonish 8's and casting sprue rim of a counterfeit. The site coin looks authentic but the lighting is tricked up to make it extra purdy.

I don't think it's the same coin. Photoshop can do some amazing things, but this ain't one of them.

Dang, what a shame. Definitely a fake with the side by side photos. I would get a refund and leave negative feedback.
Errers and Varietys.

My experience is that you will get credited when/if you send it back.
This counterfeit BS, forces one, to be on ones toes !
