An Obvious Fake Morgan Error

Whoever "minted" this coin was not even trying to make it look real. Aside from not looking real on so many levels, if you flip the coin top to bottom you can see that the double strike is on the bottom of obverse, and on the bottom of the reverse. That just can't be!

Seen one on eBay for 23 bucks

 

This is the sort of crap that will ruin our hobby.

 

Are these photos from a for-sale listing, or someone someone actually received?

I'm betting that anyone ordering one of these would receive one with the "COPY" stamp mysteriously missing.

 

The "coin" has "COPY" on it so not sure what the problem is? Many people get these to fill those obnoxious empty holes in the albums of coins we will probably never own.

 

Frequently (usually?), sale listings for these show the COPY stamp, but the coins actually delivered don't have it. Those unmarked "coins" then show up on eBay/Etsy/FB for sale as the real thing.

 

I actually have this "coin".

 

Funny it has copy on it when it can't really exist in the first place. I wonder what they copied it from?
