1885 CC Morgan Dollar

You know, you've got a point here, and I am remiss in not more closely exploring that aspect originally given the number of counterfeits extant. This coin's only potential, of the known varieties, is VAM-2 and there are arguments against from the images provided. We'll have to move quickly on the OP's behalf once he has the coin in hand.

I am just wondering what the washed out photos are hiding?

 

Like I said, Dave, those aren't photos. I don't know what those are. Illustrations? Reasonable facsimiles? All I know is, those aren't photos you sell a coin on.

 

China hit me like a brick at first glance. Maybe it is the scans or whatever but those 8's look off.

 

My first thought, not real. The denticles are all wierd. Some longer some shorter, some fatter some extremely thin.

 

Oh my, Sherlock, that's right! Good eye. They're spaced erratically, too.

 

Coin in hand now:

 

absolutely fake in my unprofessional opinion

 

Not a chance it's real.

 

Bona fide auction house not individual so get the money back I guess.

 

Definitely not real. Sorry you have to go through all of that but if you aren't absolutely positive about authenticity, you should ask first then buy. This is a place of a thousand eyes, if it's not real, someone will spot it, and save you some heartache.

 

But if you ask someone else buys...........I bought via paypal so will get my money back thank God.

 

Get money back now! Sorry man

 

Seller is not responding to my paypal claim.........so does not appear to be trying to say it's real thus far. He has 4 days left then paypal step in.

 

Let us know how it goes. That said, I'm pretty confident PayPal will side with you regardless.

 

It's about 1.2g light too!

 

Got money back! Now seller says its a restrike.....so can he have the coin back.

 

Help him out before you send it back, punch the word copy across the face
