    No mint mark is okay, it's a P for Philadelphia. Nice Morgan.

    I'm wondering if something is going on with the auction, or maybe bids got cancelled. But the high big just changed multiple times while I was looking at it. For a few minutes it showed a high bid of 1 dollar even though there are 32 bids. Right now it's showing that it's back over $200

    So, is this a worn proof, altered mint mark or outright fake?

    That’s 100% bogus. That’s a certified Shanghai mint Morgan and has never remotely been a proof Philly.

    There is a few things that I suspect are not right. The date is not right, never heard of a closed 5. The m in unum is almost filled. The denticles from 6 to 7 are a give away that this is a cast most likely. The reverse was done a bit better but over all the fields are pretty rough. I always wonder that a coin this rare, why hasn't it been certified. Mike.

    After @Sting 60 remark I decided to do some research, I found that he is not only correct but also there was O and S only, no plain 1895 Morgan. My mistake, sorry people.

    You are correct Sir, so this would have to have been a proof, which none were ever circulated. That is why a mentioned the rarity. Mike.
