"Morgan" Morgans; may have found the inspiration for the latest bad slabbed ones...

Previously reported 1881-CC's:


Cert was nuked; now 2 other cert numbers used, both genuine certs of other denominations...



Kind of comical...



An 1899:



And the latest "discovery" but maybe the 1st "struck":



And this example shows up in the auction archives of PCGS:



And the genuine example:




Getting hairy out there; glad I don't collect "Morgans"...

Glad as the devil for Jack.......

 

This may be a question for another forum but I'll ask it anyway. What is the weight of a slabbed morgan; I'm guessing it is a little different from say pcgs vs ngc. I don't think I've seen any discussion on that topic. This would be valuable information when weighing a slabbed morgan to tell if the weight was correct. Regards.

 

How did you find that last one in PCGS auction archives? When I search sold items for seller sneake_9517 I get 45 results, 8 of them Morgans, but when I click each one I get the orange hoodie. That doesn't happen with other sellers, so I wonder if they got nuked.

Facilitating the sale of counterfeits is illegal under the Hobby Protection Act (that provision was added later) but somehow ebay skates by. I'd hazard to say more fakes are sold via ebay than anywhere else. I really doubt these fake slabs are getting into the US one at a time, there has to be a bulk buyer here somewhere in the chain, but apparently tracking them down isn't a priority. I wonder what PCGS has to say about it.

 

The "we looked everywhere" thing, which I think indicates ebay intervention.

 

It would be interesting if someone forced ebay to reveal how many reported counterfeits they get versus how many they actually take down, because it seems like it takes a special connection and then they're gone right away, but I can report an item until I'm blue in the face and it stays up. Policing it costs them money, and it needs to cost them to not do anything before they'll change.

Orange hoodie:


I have a running list of the bad slabs on PCGS' Collectors Universe; several on-line certs have been removed or modified since the start.

I also report to NGC but most of the swarm of bad have been these generic bad "PCGS slabs" and labels.

 

And now these...

 

all CC Morgans (strike 1) no-shield-labels i.e. no trueviews (strike 2) Jack posted them (strike 3) - who can’t tell they are counterfeits ?
