Welcome, there's a simple answer: if it looks too good (or too slick) to be true, then it most definitely is. Look around and walk away. My dealer sells well-worn common date Morgans for $12 in quantity, and you can get deals in other places online (Apmex, for example) for between $12-14.
Sometimes ebay has legitimate deals, sometimes not. How you know something is legitimate? For one, you inquire of experts or experienced collectors, something you're obviously willing to do before making a mistake. For another you educate yourself about the coin and the prices before making a costly mistake, like buying from "National Mint Collection Rarities Silver Your Name Here It's Not a Scam We Mean It...Really, Inc."
