I picked up a slabbed XF-40 1889 CC Morgan at an Estate Sale. How can I tell if this is real or not? It was graded by the North West Grading Corporation--I never heard of it. I did a search and found nothing. Has the name changed? Would anyone like to see pictures? Thank you for your help.

I would crack the slab and send coin to a known grading company.

Yes, please take high quality photos! A lot of money is at stake for a coin like this.

Pictures of the whole slab as well. I know about NWGS but I'm not sureif I have an example of their slab or not. They were not around very long.

I cannot upload photos due to the size limitations. I can sent the phtos to anyone who wants them. Any suggestions? I need help since I am disputing the charge with my credit card company...
I have a picture of a 1.) suspicious mark on the eagle breast, 2.) the Liberty Banner is not raised, 3.) a gate mark, and 4.) a weird crack on the back of the coin.

You can use Picasa 3 to resize the pictures.

I will email you to the address you used when signing up at the forum and you can just reply to that email and attach the pictures and I will resize them and upload them for you. Please do not resize them before sending I will do all that when I get them

by looking at the denticles I do not believe it is authentic either, especially the last picture

I believe it is a replica too, date looks off. Hope you didn't pay much...

Serifs on mm are missing and the denticles are wrong as well.

If anyone would care to help me out here I would appreciate it. I have reported the incident to local authorities, but I do not have the coin in my possession--I returned it to the seller. My CC company and the seller are fighting it out now. It is a long story and I will share it if someone would can email me. Thank you everyone.

Your best bet for the CC company is to prove the seller received the coin back, and you're therefore entitled to a refund. You did have the return shipment tracked, right? |
