burfle23 Pillar of the Community United States 517 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 12:00 am I continue to look for or purchase fakes to image off the list I created of the bad Chinese seller's offerings but more show up every day as additions! Today's Bay listings were a 1st seen (for me) 1893-CC in the morning, and an 1880-CC in the evening: Edited by burfle23 07/27/2023 12:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25041 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 12:11 am Burfle, I don't think you'll ever catch up to all of them. But notice they're both from the same seller in Littleton, CO. I'll peruse their other offerings.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 04:34 am I shy away from slabs, simply because I have no idea on how to identify the fake security features. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 06:54 am Seems like the 1893-CC has the same hole in the fifth feather down on the left as other CC fakes you've posted. Just going by memory of the markers. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 09:00 am Both of these fakes have the same label with Morgan on the label, so most likely being produced by the same counterfeiter. The reverses are different on the fakes, but I guess that figures because the fakes are different grades. Is this the same counterfeiter that produced the CC Morgan's with the scratch on the breast and bump above the D on the reverse? I do not recall any of the CC breast scratch Morgan's having Morgan on the label. Report this Post to the Staff

If the FBI ever gets serious about universally enforcing the law, they would buy this item, make their case and track down this c.ounterfeiter. Then, they, the so-called "justice system" (ha-ha) would ideally make an example of him. If this trend continues, it won't be long until QVC and the HSN start telemarketing fakes!
