1878 7TF Morgan Silver Dollar - Need Expert Advice

Well it's not a fake NGC slab. It's an NCGS slab.

Well now why do you think it's a fake NCGS slab? Who would counterfeit a NCGS slab and a $50 coin?

Edit: I'm just wondering why you think the slab looks fake?

Although I could be wrong, it's my fear from third-world "slabbers" like these is not so much counterfeits as coins with vastly overinflated grades. The "MS65" coin pictured here could well be a cleaned AU coin in the real world; a genuinely MS65 1878 is worth a considerable sum more than the asking price here. That's a hint.

The bit you see missing in the "D" is actually a point in its' favor; this is a known error in some examples of this issue as long as it's a legitimate coin. I won't put it past the counterfeiters to eventually duplicate the known varieties, and since they sometimes take castings from the coins they have to create the fakes, it may not be real. My gut says it is real, but I would not risk $75 on it. There will always be another.

BTW super Dave was right on the money. Coin was cleaned. Dealer agreed and dropped the price to 50.What got me thinking is his comments and expert opinion. Just thought I will give credit where it deserves.

Thanks for guiding me.
