Fake Morgan In Fake PCGS Slab...

According to the buyer, the pictured coin was not what he received.

It's sellers like these that give ebay a bad name. I know a plethora of ethical, legitimate, and highly professional sellers on ebay that do nothing less than superb job. It's a shame to see things like this.

I hate it for the buyer that he got a fake coin.

OT - people with math skills will catch the double-negative = positive
but not in this case

Luckily, he should be protected under Paypal and ebay Buyer Protection programs....this is one good thing about purchasing coins online. If he would have bought from an individual, he would be SOL....but now, at least he can get his money back!

I was going to say the coin looks pretty good in the auction photos, though for that kind of money I'd want to see it in hand first. The cert # matched PCGS verification site. Did'nt read far enough to see he had sent an entirely different coin. I've seen a couple of the 1889-CC fakes where the holder was really good, and they had used a similar graded fake so the cert even matched up. Be careful out there, if it's too good to be true then it probably is, why would someone sell a coin for half market value when top rare coins will sell easily with a phone call to a market making dealer?

I was kind of in a rush when I posted that above and should have said that I understand my searching through the few Chinese sellers that he has bought from with private auctions that I did look through has no bearing on the fact that he shipped a fake coin in a fake slab, I was just making a statement because it was brought up that his history with Chinese sellers and private auctions were where he acquired the coin
