If I post a picture of all 6 coins this afternoon can you guys tell me if they are fake by just looking at them? Or would you need to weigh them? These are really good fakes if they are fake. This is the reason why I am thinking about not even collecting coins anymore. I can't afford a lot of the graded coins and you don't know what the heck you are getting if they have not been graded...

Connor we'd be glad to help any way we can. Big pictures would be better to make accurate judgments. That said, investing in a small digital scale can be a lifesaver. You can pick them up for $15.

I don't know how to add this to my original post but I am trying to upload these pictures. My camera is not the best in the world, but maybe you guys can tell me something from these.  |

I know the pictures are not the best in the world but can anybody tell me anything. What kind of action would you take against this seller? What if this seller didn't even know it was fake?  |

second pic really blurry. I would contact seller and see what he has to say. If you can't get a decent picture posted then take them to a dealer. obviously the cc is a fake. but you have 5 others to verify.

Yeah... get a return on them. If he didn't know the mintmarks at leas he should have known if they were fake.

The person I bought these from will not return my email. What do I do now? I have never had this happen before. I did pay for them via paypal. Do I have any protection here at all?

Connor, You can pick up the digital scales on ebay. There's a seller on there that seems to be all they carry. I believe the price was $13.95. Do a search on "digital scale". For you other problem, open a PayPal dispute on the transaction. The 1888-CC is definitely counterfeit and if the seller didn't advertise it as a copy or replica, you're on solid ground. If the seller does not respond to your questions that's another bullet in your gun for a PayPal dispute. You may get your money back and get to keep the counterfeits.  |

Just a update on the 1888-CC. That was the only fake coin I received out of the 6 morgans I bought. I had my local coin dealer take a look at all of them. I think it was an honest mistake and the seller didn't know anything about coins in the first place. I am just going to write this off as a lesson learned. Atleast I have 5 more real Morgans. The 1888-CC will make a nice conversation piece that is worthless.

Another lesson learned was just how "real" fakes look.

Beware, that 70,000 factories closed down in China. IMO, this will lead to a lot more white collar "crimes" on ebay. |
