I was looking around ebay this morning and found this very interesting listing for a 1878 O Morgan dollar. These are seller pictures and I cleaned them up the best I could.The seller says it's .999 silver and circulated. I'm thinking it circulated somewhere in China, but what do I know.

Anyway I just thought you might want to comment on a Morgan dollar I'll bet none of you own.

The toning, rims, and mushy lettering are pretty suspicious... oh yeah, and the fact that 1878-O Morgans don't exist.

I reported this coin this morning as fake. But apparently, ebay isn't in any hurry to take it down.

It looks like everything he has got for sale is fake. Silver bars say .999 silver, but in his listing it says "German silver, silver coated".

Things look real fishy . Sold for $27.01 But the guy that won the bid only bids on collectables..He Won about ten items from the same seller in a row. And only bid once on each item. Something just don't seem right.

This guy who has sold a Fake Coin has more coins on ebay again. Hard for me to tell if they are fake, but don't look good to me.

Someone at a swap meet will get fooled by this if they didn't know there was no 78-O.
