Another cautionary thread about fake Morgan slabs

This auction is about to end, messaged seller but it's still going and has several bids. 1881CC "PCGS" Morgan. Everything about it screams fake. Holder is wrong, no hologram, regular obverse, Gold Shield reverse. Coin doesn't match coin in the photos on PCGS verify, coin just looks off and mushy to begin with.

I would post photos but would have to convert html files to jpg and it's too much work.

Yes, it’s an obvious counterfeit coin and slab which now been sold.

 

And the buyer got robbed of $785. If that wouldn't turn you off from the hobby nothing would.

 

I can tell just by looking at the image that the barcode won't scan, and it doesn't. Clearly not the same coin as the TrueView. Looks like a poorly made laser etched die to me. You pretty much have to assume everything on Fleecebay is fake unless you can prove otherwise. That's my default position anyway.

 

I saw that coin and passed immediately. Congrats and thanks for posting it.

 

Check this one out. At least it's real. Bargain discount price, $10,000

I sent the seller this message: BWAHAHAHAHAHA

 

The best part was the lead photo is a dateless SLQ. Surely this idiot doesn't think that's a Morgan? LOL
