Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 05:19 am This seller has 3 1889cc Morgans for sale, each one looks almost identical. Too good to be true? http://cgi.ebay.com/1889-CC-Morgan-...t_500wt_1182 Report this Post to the Staff

okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 05:57 am It looks to me like it could be real, but there are enough red flags that I'd stay away from that seller - he can't spell, he goes to great lengths to talk about how he didn't clean it with anything other than "wather from a bottle", his photos are bad, and is Mar Lin supposed to be Maryland?

DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 08:24 am I agree, I don't know enough to determine if it's a legit coin, but I do know enough to stay away from that seller. Coin looks dipped to me at least and to me, when the seller said wiped down with water only, I'll take that to mean he cleaned it. Report this Post to the Staff

numismaniac Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 6:42 pm Very Strange indeed. His last 2 sales were fairly large and the buyers left positive feedback. You just don't know sometimes. I am always wary of sellers who cannot spell and use bad grammar. Maybe I have missed out on some nice deals because of this! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 7:05 pm I know next to nothing about Morgans, but how do you grade that coin by those pics? The pics make me uneasy, especially the reverse. Either the photo or the coin looks doctored. Report this Post to the Staff
beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 7:22 pm I hate to brand a seller because of his inability to spell or compose a proper sentence, but I have to admit that reading a buyer's description loaded with grammatical errors does make me leery. Unfortunately, butchering the English language is becoming more and more commonplace Report this Post to the Staff
