Might be a good idea to edit your OP and add a link to the respective auctions.

Haven't looked closely at a pic yet. An 1874 Trade dollar for $89, with detail visible? No way it's real.

The Trade dollar is fake. Besides strike problems and the price point, there is a denticle mismatch. On 1874-P Trade dollars the denticles were the same size on both the obverse and the reverse. The denticles on the reverse here are far too long.

The Morgan is fake. Also no doubt. Denticles and weak strike are dead giveaways.

It's a denticle sort of day. :-)

Pathetic fakes. I would stay away from that website.

I'd buy them stamps he's selling before I'd ever consider the coins. And, for all I know, those stamps are fakes too. But I'll leave that to someone who knows stamps better than I.

An 1874 Trade dollar with a type II rev? I don't think that is possible is it?
