How in the world did you find where the plagiarized text came from?

That 1887 Morgan pictured in the auction for 1887 P and 1887 O is an 1887 -P VAM-27A http://www.vamworld.com/1887-P+VAM-27A

If the Chinese are copying Morgan dollars down to the individual die details I just quit collecting.

It's a photo of a legit coin and I guarantee the winner will not receive the one pictured. It is more likely stolen pictures from another auction just like the text TC found. (nice work btw!)

Text is from this seller's listings.


Or just a fantastic coincidence? Honestly, that you were able to ferret that out astounds me, also.

I think that suggests that the other conjectures here that the pics have been pirated, too, may be presumed to be valid.

I copied and pasted the text into Google. Easy and simple.

Having the hunch or investigative instinct to do that is not so easy or simple, though. I remain impressed.
