"Fake Morgan" Update.

I have been researching this seller. looking at his past sales present ones and even what he buys. When they used to have the buyer's screenames I was good at catching "shills". He has been selling for 2 years. I am surprised he lasted so long. He specializes in antique collectibles like photographs, cards and coins all of these items I can pretty much guess are fake. Wile looking at the Morgans I noticed his photos are getting blurry. But it seems the toning and wear on these coins a very close to identical. He is getting greedy and careless and presently has of all things up for auction an 1895P Morgan Item number: 120396771063 With a Buy it now for $5000. With some rather clear pictures at that

Responding to replies here.
Morgans dad....I don't know how to send a private message regarding my email addy.
Yes, over the past couple of months, I've kept,copied and bookmarked info on this person. I believe he has another ebay user name also as some items appear similar, as well as same types of neg feedback, but I can't confirm that.

After 3 months of complaining and writing ebay
and Paypal, this person I've been writing about
on my other "FAKE MORGAN" posts finally did himself
in, as noted by a previous member post here.. by
listing and selling these 2 "Morgans"..........
ebay 120396060299 and 110367754808, then refused 2
recent requests for refunds and has moved, (seller states).
I'm told, on the phone with ebay this morning that he is now restricted from future sales.
Unfortunately, several Ebayers already lost a lot of
money buying his fakes.
Note to Ebayers returning mdse for refunds..USE
TRACKING info, not as I did..sent regular mail.
*SIDE note* ..my profile, for whatever reason,
states my age as 13(?) I'm 67,lol, and I'm
trying to figure out how to edit it.

Good luck with this problem.

I bid on something a month ago and when the auction was over I paid with paypal, about ten minutes later ebay sends me a email telling me they pulled this guys items right after it was over, yes, right after I paid. I appealed and now one month later, still waiting.

now, last saturday I went to my local flemart and ran across this guy that had a mall plastic box with about ten fake morgans in it. he was getting $2.00 each and they were listed as fake.

i bought one just to have, 1902 cc. side by side with a real morgan one can see the difference, but by it's self it's kind of hard.

but like I said above, good luck with ebay and paypal.

If it did, that would give someone else who IS proactive the chance to take the auction market away from them and become the premier on-line auction site.

Just to let everyone know, the U.S. Secret Service not only protects our national leaders, they also track down and prosecute counterfeiters! I have reported a ebay seller who sold me a bogus 1922 No D Lincoln Cent. When I got it, it had very sharp edges and would balance on its edge. No coin from that time that was circulated would do that! And the color didn't match my other 1922 cents. (Not even close...). The Secret Service agent was very interested in this guy. And since I had his name and return address, it was particularly sweet for me!

They have lost me. I am really trying hard not to sell there. I will still browse and if something looks like it's worth my time, I'll bid. If I ran ebay, these sellers would be history. No second chances.
If they sneak back in under some other name, they will slip up eventually.

Too all posters: Just curious, if ebay is not so good, what web site do any of you recommend? (Or do you buy all your coins in person?)

My answer as to where to obtain coins from.

1) Here on CCF (anyone can do so once they have 50 posts).
2) US Mint and Royal Mint.
3) ebay (only low value items).
4) Local shop which sells metal detectors.
