Some of these are more readily detectable as fakes than others, but it's interesting how they've all been made to uniformily appear somewhat worn.

With the amount of time they have to invest to make these Morgans barely appear as "real" with obvious fake dies and obvious fake wear and "bag marks" (probably NAIL marks), sign up for ebay and the hassle, sign up for Pay Pal and the hassle, take the pictures, write the listing, formulate a heading that only barely appears that you know English, and then process the order and send this junk out - you just GOTTA think there are easier ways for them to make money.

Maybe SOMEONE should tell them about honest work as they could certainly make more money for the time invested, I would think.

They ship from "Cchina, China" and some of them are listed as "copper". I pity anyone who actually bids on these.

I pity the unsuspecting individuals that purchase these as authentic Morgans after these make it to the US.

Of course, the question is, what honest items will they make and be able to sell? As for the time invested, while each one of these ebay accounts look to be more or less small time flailing, they're fronting for truly industrial scale operations, and in the aggregate they move a substantial amount of product with a huge profit margin.

If you win one of these, TOMORROW, when all of these listings end, you'll be happy to know that you can expect delivery sometime between 9/1 and 10/8.

Provided it's not seized by U.S. Customs.

These coins are once again being bid on by the same bidders knowingly purchasing counterfeits for a secondary market.
