dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 11:16 am It looks like the back of the label is a newer style than the Heritage sale version. Resubmitted for what ever reason? I gotta say that auction house left money on the table with those images. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4480 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 1:20 pm I ran a barcodes reader on the seller example and the Heritage example. The following are the results: Heritage coin, 22 digit cert #, 0000072800067025357009 Seller coin, 16 digit cert #, 0072806725357009 I also ran another PCGS Morgan with the same type/year of the seller's holder. The PCGS barcode reads a 22 digit cert number. PCGS changed the barcode style from a 16 digits to 22 digits in 2010. The holder style of the seller's coin should be a 22 digit barcode. The seller's holder is a fake. The barcode is wrong, the coin does not look MS67 and does not match the Heritage example. Edited by Slider23 02/12/2022 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4480 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 5:57 pm The counterfeiter for the seller's coin is using the old 16 digit barcode. Effective March 25, 2010 PCGS changed from a 16 digit to a 22 digit barcode system. Below is the layout for the barcode: 16 digit old format: 1-6 Coin/spec number 7-8 Grade 9-16 Certification number 22 digit New format: 1 Contains Gold Shield NFC Chip Technology 2-3 Reserved for future use 4-9 Coin/spec number 10 Service identifier 11 Grade detail 12-13 Grade 14 Grade modifier 15-22 Certification number Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 9:17 pm Yup, nevermind, certainly a totally different coin, but sellers pics are horrible. Reputable seller? Report this Post to the Staff
TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 07:15 am Not reputable. Had a few negatives non related to coins, said he had inherited these and knew nothing about coins. Very glad I didn't bid. Report this Post to the Staff
