Saw this for sale and immediately it looked wrong. There's no way this coin is MS64. Any thoughts?

The label looks wrong, particularly the date. But the "proof" is that this coin doesn't look like the TrueView image at https://www.PCGS.com/cert/20322873

Edit to add the Heritage listing for (what we presume to be) the real coin with this certification number: https://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dol.../1159-3566.s

Both slab and coin are poor fakes. The fonts and font size are wrong on the label. The coin is comical. Link the listing here so nss or bobby can work their magic.

This really is a mess when even the slabs are faked.

That is so far off that I would suggest spending some time looking at this

https://www.PCGS.com/holders

It isn't all inclusive but is a good start and will at least let you see how to dismiss the really bad ones

What, it's fake? Looks like an MS68PL to me, I mean, look at that baby shine!!

While someone is buying that for a steal, I can sell them as many bags of fertilizer straight from the cat at a discount price of $800 each! It's gooey gold just waiting for them!

Sorry, I didn't mean to put a question mark in the title. I know it's an obvious fake, I was just sharing it with people.
