    I noted in my post here in Coin Chat about the 1893-O Morgan and bad seller I would do an update on his other scams, so here goes:D...

    A couple of images showing the listed stock image of the eagle and then what I received. Turns out another collector had purchased 2 rolls back in 2023 and didn't realize his were counterfeits until reading my Coin Week article ironically published in 2023:

    I actually expected my fake to be the same as the previous buyer's but his had what I nicknamed the "Bad T" (of UNITED) and I received the 2nd type I showed in the article, the "Notched T" (of cent)!

    So, to try to summarize all that went on with these and the seller I wrote an extensive article for Proxiblog with the link at:

    Shortly after writing the article the seller disappeared...

    I am still on the lookout for a new seller name and the same scam going forward!

    Best, Jack.
