Previous listing was removed; I spend a little time each day trying to weed these out!

Well, a new approach to selling these- break them out of the bad holders and offer them for $150 a pop as a money clip...

I don't get it. What is the point of showing a (fake) slabbed coin when all you're selling is the money clip? I guess if a buyer is dumb enough to think a) it's real and b) it grades MS64 just because there's a picture of a slabbed coin, then they get what they deserve.

The counterfeit seller's business plan could use a little improvement. Why would any legit seller take a $800 coin and crack it out, then, mount the coin to a money clip and sell at $149?

Well, with all of the publicity of the bad "Morgan" Morgan '81-CC's they are buying at $40 a pop he has decided to try to get more by selling them attached to money clips- didn't say this one was the sharpest tool out there!

I asked if he had any other dates and he has bad 1883-CC's as well; matched his to another bad one with the same reverse as the '81-CC's and same bad holder but no "Morgan" on the label of this one...

One of the reasons why none of my 1500 or so coins are slabbed, despite nearly 50 years of collecting.
Other reasons have to do with display and storage.

As an aside,
if a slabbed coin is suspected as being fake, it is necessary to crack the slab to investigate the coin.

I contacted the seller and included an image of the genuine one; he has since ended the auction...
