These two listings caught my eye. While the first one sold for higher, I was surprised since I though it would grade lower than the second one. Curious to hear more experienced eyes and collectors thoughts. 1889 CC#1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/325643890764? 1889 CC #2 https://www.ebay.com/itm/125921514798?
I don't understand why anyone would spend that much for a raw 1889-CC on ebay. To me both coins are counterfeits. Look at how wavy the bottoms of all the letters are on the reverses, and how misshapen they are.
I don't collect Morgan's but I certainly wouldn't spend that much based on those pictures. Besides, big red flag that they are not in TPG holders. The prior comments cement the deal.
Paid that much money and obviously knows very little about what was purchased. Jack even you can't help someone like this.
