ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 3:46 pm Just curious if you think this is too good to be true... ? 90-CC for $90 BIN! This seller has other auctions being discussed here as possible counterfeits. This one may be as well. Any thoughts or observations? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...IT&viewitem= Edited by ratio411 01/19/2009 3:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 3:52 pm Hi Ratio, The price isn't unbelievable for a '90-CC in lower grade. It would be a very good buy IMO if it were a no-problem EF but I don't like the color of this one. Even if it is genuine (and I don't seen any obvious authenticity problems) I'd presume it has been cleaned and possibly re-toned. I would try to find one with a more original look.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 3:55 pm The color is a big red flag to me. That's the color of one I bought a while back, which had been "smoked" to hide a massive brushing. Danger, Will Robinson! (RIP Bob May) Report this Post to the Staff

ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 4:10 pm I thought that both the 8 and the 9 in the date looked very suspect. If the makers of these counterfeit Morgans ever perfect the dates, I won't be able to spot them. In the other thread about this seller, I posted a pic of a 1903-O. The date looks obviously wrong on that one, but the coin weighs out correct! I posted a new thread for this one as it looked borderline 'real', and I wanted a quick feedback on your take on the BIN price being asked. Thanks! Dave Report this Post to the Staff
