Shape of the eye and the wheat doesn't look quite right.

Mirror like finish in the back? Did they make 1904-O proofs?

I am nowhere near knowledgeable in counterfeits but I am curious about this one.

I see what you're seeing but it looks like the picture is just fuzzy and distorting the details.
Rest in Peace

I believe this one is alright. It is the pictures and lighting that make it look a little off

All of the Morgan Proofs were minted in Philadelphia... Well, all except for maybe 20 extremely rare Branch Mint Proofs.

Going out on a limb, I'm going to say this is not one of them

Plus, I don't think this year there were any Branch Mint Proofs.

The pictures are not good enough to say for sure but I don't there is anything suspicious. I don't think there are any proofs known for this date but PL's and DMPL's are.

Likely authentic but terrible pictures usually are hiding something like harsh cleaning. However, this seller only has one coin listed so it is possible they are just not set up for photographing coins. With return policy, not much risk.
