by looking at the denticles I do not believe it is authentic either, especially the last picture

Serifs on mm are missing and the denticles are wrong as well.

If anyone would care to help me out here I would appreciate it. I have reported the incident to local authorities, but I do not have the coin in my possession--I returned it to the seller. My CC company and the seller are fighting it out now. It is a long story and I will share it if someone would can email me. Thank you everyone.

It will therefore be impossible for you to prove it's a fake, so that angle is out of play. Your best bet for the CC company is to prove the seller received the coin back, and you're therefore entitled to a refund.

You did have the return shipment tracked, right?

I recently purchased a 89cc in a F12. I also was unsure of its realism. It was graded byPCGS. I checked with PCGS and it was verified as real,but, there was still doubt in my mind. I send it into NGC for a crossover certification. It cost me $30 plus shipping and it was real and got and extra upgrade to boot. Considering the cost of this year and mint, its always good to be a little suspicious. I'm a new collector but I'm learning fast.
I hope all works out well.

Of course, I tracked the package and the seller received it.

If they got it back, you get a refund. Is that what they're saying?

Very interesting topic, just a note, there are a few CC Mint marks that were used, some uneven, some different sized 1st letter, compared to the 2nd letter, some tilted, etc, just my opinion....That certainly is a key date Morgan, buyers beware! Mike

It frustrates me how many people have bought key and semi-key dates slabbed by these basement slabbers. Like many others have said before, do not buy anything in a non-reputable TPG holder. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but it generally should be followed.

I have two 89cc's, one XF for my collection. As soon as I purchased it, I shipped it off to NGC. Got it regraded and now feel-safe. When you buy a coin (rare/k dates) get those things graded/slabbed ASAP. for piece of mind.

Just to give you all an update. The seller posted the coin I returned on ebay. I recognized the coin from its markings in the photos. He resold it to another person for twice what I paid--that's $1600. If I told ebay, would they take me seriously?
