Hi All. 3 weeks or so back i won an auction for the attached Morgan S.D. The seller was relatively new and from Canada I thought nothing of it for i have done business with ebay sellers from Canada and never had problems. Well i paid for the coin (only 21.00) and the shipping was from 5 to 7 business days. So after 7 days i get an alert from Ebay telling me this seller was no longer active and i did not have to pay for the coin. I immediately did the buyers resolution and was refunded the 21 Dollars. So now 2 weeks later waiting for me in the mail this morning at work was the coin in a small bubble envelope from China???? I am going to weigh it tonight but the silver ping sound is there. Can this be a real one? Let me know if you can tell from the pics. Thanks.
bubble wrap from China? I didn't even look at the pictures .. I'm sure it's fake. There's been rumblings on other forums about ppl putting fake locations in eBay when selling. You have to scan everything about the seller nowadays and see how the feedback is. I'm glad I don't buy Morgans as though seem to have a plethora of high grade fakes.
I would be curious to know if this plethora of high grade Morgan fakes has had an impact on the largest majority of eBay sellers — even those with feedback numbers well beyond 10,000. Is there a list of known dishonest eBay sellers here at CT?
scrolling through coinfacts don't see any with that mintmark location If like you said it's silver then you got a nice chunk of free silver it looks like
That looks like a coin from a China auction that was on Invaluable. the date even matches the ones they had. They had many of those all were fakes and that sure does look like the ones they were selling . The dates were used over and over, and I remember those coins had a look like the one you have purchased . good Luck
Sure looks like a bad fake from China by the Pic's . The way you received your money back for $21 ea. on this fake and then got a coin in return is rare,being that most of these fakes go for about $ 1 -$ 2 ea. so stay way away from them. Ron W.
You can buy Morgan Dollars for less than $21 around here in Utah, especially in the kind of condition this piece looks to be in... and know they are real.
Yes agreed that i got lucky to get my money back but this particular seller had Canada as his location not China. I never bid on coins if the seller is from China.
