So you think it might be genuine? If it is That was a smoking deal. I don't know enough to say for sure.
I do feel very glad I didn't bid on it.

All I'm saying is the seller raises no flags to me. I have no idea if it is real...do not do Morgans.

I guess if the guy moves allot of high end coins, he may not have looked at it too close. It is an 1895 though. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I would have sent that one to a TPG. Only a complete novice wouldn't know what that date means. |

It's fake. And as for the seller, he's got 400 Feedbacks for purchases and a grand total of 6 as a seller, all in the last 6 weeks, and only three of those were coins including just one US coin. He's a buyer of gemstones, not a coin dealer. Not exactly an encouraging record to trust his authentication skills. |

Coin is a DEFINATE COUNTERFEIT. The easiest way to spot this common counterfeit is to look at the fonts on the reverse. Look at the "T" and "E" in STATES. The bottom of the "T" and "E" on a real Morgan is straight horizontal.....this counterfeit has the fancy curvy fonts which can be seen at the bottom of all the letters.

amida, Don't feel bad, I had thoughts of bidding on this and that would have been a different conversation.

Did it rub you against your grain? Sorry, such jokes just tend to *pop* out from time to time. It'a a *mazie*ing really. Bad jokes just tend to *stalk* me wherever I go... :-)
