paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 05:34 am I believe this seller's Morgans are not genuine and have reported the 1888-O, 1887-O, and 1891-S as such. I've never seen a tiny New Orleans mint mark like the one on his 1888 and 1887 (1899 excepted). The denticles, among other things, just don't pass the sniff test on his 1891-S. Let me know your thoughts on them.. PG http://www.ebay.com/itm/1888-O-NEW-...AOSwepJXWJ1R Report this Post to the Staff

NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 07:29 am I would agree with your suspicions. The obverse lettering seems too large. The last digits in the dates appear lifted too far from the denticles, and the digits (especially in 1891) are condensed. As you said, the o-mintmark also seems smaller than usual, even for VAMs, although this may be the norm from the Ottawa mint, which is listed under Item Specifics for the 1888-o.

RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 5:15 pm This seller does not sell much in coins. I agree they don't look good. probably picked up in some lot with the jewelry they sell. seller is probably unaware the coins are not genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
dcarr Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 04:38 am Definitely fake. Note that the top arrow feather is not slanted as it should be for 1879-1904 coins. In fact, these fake Morgans have the reverse hub style of 1921. Report this Post to the Staff
