Chinese fakes are hurting a lot of people, beginners beware.

These chinese fakes have a similar dull grey look to them so that's the first red flag. The date, like you said, confirms it's fake. All 1893-s Morgans come from the same die so they should all look exactly the same. When you compare the one on ebay to a real one from heritage, it becomes pretty obvious.

Quite ironic that the location of the coin(Monroe,NY) is about a 5 minute drive from my house!Maybe I'll go over and see if it's real or not!

You could just about bet the house on this.....

This is a dormant account that's been hijacked by spoof emails.

The last feedback, other than this one 5 days ago, was in 2006. Look at the item and where the seller is. This was just to get a recent feedback showing.

From the listing....

Once agan, I can't believe the amount of money un-informed people spend on these things...



Oh, and I got one just like it... (Note the very squishy date...)
