alascot New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/13/2016 8:39 pm The pictured 1885 CC Morgan dollar was identified as a fake by online shoppers. Can I get some feedback related to what they were seeing on the photos? I purchased it and listed it straight-away. This has been a real shock for me. Please help. Thanks.

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 02/13/2016 8:58 pm I am no expert but I see the mintmark looks off, eagle looks off, face of liberty....It looks like a Chinese cast counterfeit. For CC coins always buy PCGS or NGC examples. Never buy these raw they are highly faked especially by China. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/13/2016 9:11 pm Send it to PCGS or NGC. If it's legit it's worth the expense and you solve the question. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 12:36 am 100% bogus. Casting pits on the reverse, CC mint mark is wrong font and wrong size, same steel gray surfaces with polishing lines as all the other ones from the no-no site have. Not a bag mark in sight and no chatter to be seen, meaning that if real, this coin would grade MS66, a $2300 coin -- and on top of that, the reverse strike is perfect, but the obverse strike is incredibly weak, almost resembling AU details more than high MS details.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 08:36 am Wow, sorry to the op. I hope you didn't get burned too bad. This is one of the better China fakes I've seen though that would fool most without specific morgan knowledge or knowledge of Chinese counterfit processes so don't feel too bad Edited by Cascade 02/14/2016 08:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
