Something seems wrong about the paper in the holder...

Cert checks out fine on PCGS, seller's other listings look ok, I don't see anything really suspicious about the slab, barcode or the hologram.

I've see other old PCGS holders where the paper has somehow slipped out of place. I think the camera angle might exasperate the problem on this one. Seller offers a return policy. If you like it buy it. If it seems fishy in hand return it.

The camera angle is a little off which may be what it is. Some of the older holders can look funky depending on the picture, it probably would benefit from a remolder. The good news is it's a Morgan so you can always VAM it and if it matches up should be good to go

Sounds like I'm being a bit cautious. I've not purchased coins from ebay in a long time... primarily due to the abundance of fakes.

thanks for the feedback!

caution before buying is essential until you are an expert yourself.

What is the world coming to when you have to worry about fake PCGS slabs floating around? I give up.

Don't give up, but faking slabs is a sophisticated business and you need to be careful. Everything is faked these days. Heck, I understand that most of the "active users" on this forum are fakes.
