Yes, but none of the die varieties have the mm positioned so far left.

I can't find any that run from the date all the way to the rim. Too BIG.

Reported.

I understand this has been reported .
And I agree it looks fake.

Just wanted to ask, does the "R" in "LIBERTY"
look like it has a cast bubble?
(here is the picture I pulled from the auction)

Fake toning, mushy detail, every single coin this guy has sold BUT the 1894 Morgan dollar is fake, period. And I don't even believe that 1894 morgan is a P. Looks like a highly polished 1894 O with the mintmark removed.

Very flat cast looking numbers and letters. Yeah, that does look like a popped casting bubble.

Interesting that the fella sold two other "s" mint Buffalo fakes sharing a common reverse.

This 1921-s (sold for $224) has a raised, diagonal die gouge at the lower middle of the Buffalo's belly. It's seen on the 1926-s below too but not seen on the 1914-d.

This 1926-s (sold for $205) has a common reverse to the 1921-s above. Note the raised pimples and other die defects that are common between the two coins.

Coins sold 10 weeks apart from each other. He's been selling coins on ebay for >13 years!

The fella Bella might have sold his last counterfeit, under that name anyway.

Nice going Bobby.
