The 3 in the date looks like it was soldered on, I would strongly question the authenticity of a potential $2-3000 coin. Regardless of authenticity, it is nowhere near EF, more like VG at best.

I grade this G, and definately suspicious! Too much junk around the 3.

Looks suspicious to me as well. The 1 does not line up where it should with the denticles and the 3 just looks bad. G-6 to me if authentic, but highly doubt it.

Here's an example of an NGC G-4 coming up on Heritage next month. I think the posted example is G-6. Just hope the XF doesn't stand for Xtremely Fake.    Edited by jeffrose

Looks like VG Details - Altered Date.

I don't think there is a chance, that the coin is actually authentic.

I agree that the date has been messed around with.

Agree with the rest on that 3. Hope you didn't pay much for it.

Seems like a genuine Morgan dollar BUT... unfortunately... it is neither XF nor an 1893. Best guess is this is an 1898-S, relatively common, with a date that was chiseled out to look like a 3. Condition is G-6 damaged. |
