And over cooked it in the process.

 

I would also think anyone collecting Morgans would "run away" from a bag mark free one of these. As usual another one of your posts very interestiing.

 

Looks like they've significantly upped their efforts, then.

I swear, if I look at enough of these posts, I'm going to learn how to read barcodes by eye (without a scanner)...

 

Yes, the cheek is too smooth to be only an MS-62 grade. The face looks more like a 1921 Morgan Dollar and the reverse lost the breast feather detail which is in the deepest part of the design. The rims around the edge also appear to be too wide.

 

Noticed the lips are very pointy.

 

The CC is too big.

 

Another one bites the dust thanks to @Jack D. Young

 

Unfortunately for those with more limited knowledge and not in contact with this string of messages, these things are immoral. That’s especially true of many copies were made, and they were given a fake slab home.

 

The slab font looks off...

 

Note back from the seller after he ended the listing- "We won't sell anything counterfeit.. It is a very good knockoff however, when we performed an Xray on the item, it became very obvious".
