I'm not sure, looks authentic but yet again my gut is telling me otherwise. Even though the picture is blurry that mintmark looks weird.

I'm not a morgan expert, yet, so I'm still learning about IDing counterfeit morgans. And I know there's a ton of them, haha.

Those 3 photos..the 2 reverse photos being blurry, no close-ups, not certified?

I can go on and on about why to avoid.

The seller calls the coin fake in the description. That is good enough for me that the coins is fake.

I didn't see that. Someone probably wants to fill the hole.

Bobby should take this down if he can. Good possibility the buyer could try to resell as authentic.

Although that beak is quite comical

ebay bans fakes under its' own rules. It should not be the major effort it is to get this stuff stopped.

That edge looks about 25% thicker than it should be.

Still, if he's selling it as a fake, it's an unmarked counterfeit, therefore also not allowed.

It has to be marked "COPY" otherwise it should be removed by ebay.
It ain't difficult.

First thing I noticed. Diagnostic of a woring-metal fake that weighs the correct amount.
