If they thought for one second the coin was genuine they would have hot shotted it off to a grading service to get it slabbed! Auction houses do not like losing money or leaving money on the table. Do not waste your hard earned money trying to get this graded! Return it ASAP! They hope you forget to send it back or violate their terms of service that you agreed to when you bought it! Best advice I can give you is not to buy high dollar coins until you know exactly what you are buying and who you are buying it from! Sorry this happened to you! Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4984 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 6:10 pm No reputable auction house would sell this coin. DO NOT send them money no matter what guarantee they promise it is a low quality fake. Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54171 Posts	Posted 01/05/2024 6:20 pm All genuine 1893-S Morgan dollars have the date in EXACTLY this position. Any variance indicates a counterfeit, or altered date or mint mark coin.
