IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

IMO.... it does not look real, nor what I would expect a MS68 to look like.
Edit.... and the fact it says COPY on the reverse, just noticed.

The coin looks pretty good. If not for the slab and the copy stamp, I may not have thought it was fake.

It may be valuable as the worst looking fake NGC slab ever attempted.

It is not real, and have been showing up on ebay lately. It is clearly a knock-off of an NGC holder, but note NGC is nowhere mentioned. The coin inside is a counterfeit (note COPY on reverse).

LOL, I think anyone with two brain cells would have been tipped off by him selling a "Silver Dolalr".

It looks like it's made of lead.

Fake slab, fake coin. I've seen some bad attempts at fake TPG holders but this is just pathetic. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

There is no "opinion" here, that is 100% fake.

No 1887 CC Morgan unless you count the ones made in mainland China.

Since these are being counterfeited there must be a market somewhere where folks are purchasing them. Unbelievable that there are people with that kind of money that are so naive.

 Yes a $3,000.00 copy of an 1887 Morgan. Can't believe it, copy is printed right on the coin.  Edited by Sharks
