    It's cleaned so $250 at max. Can I see the obverse? I do see some die cracks so maybe that could be DDD MM from the die being so worn. Just some die deterioration--if this was a fake they would make it much nicer, and probably a 95 P.

    I'd like to see photos of the whole coin because something doesn't look right to me about this one and only photo. If this is all you have, I'd pass. What do you think @messydesk ?

    Very poorly executed counterfeit.

    Depression in field of coin indicates raised elements in field on die . . . not die clash

    Missing detail (see E in AMERICA)

    Raised pimples in numerous locations

    Lack of crispness for a coin retaining so much detail

    Complete absence of mint luster in protected areas for a coin retaining so much detail

    I wouldn't pay more than $2.00 for that. (about what you would pay from the forty thieves web site) The disruptions you see are from an intentional die clash.

    Massive die clash not on genuine specimens of any Morgan dollar. Put me in the "no real" camp.

    He saw that you wanted more photos, but he had to go to work. Yeah, right! How did you happen to meet this guy? Were you both standing in line at Starbucks and he asked if you wanted to see his Morgan?

    Something scream fake as soon as I saw the photo. I just wish I could see the entire coin, both sides but it's a fake to me.

    1895-s? Ask yourself why it isn’t slabbed.

    because they probably stolen from his family

    A good alternative answer would be because they're probably made by his family.

    i have one that isn’t slabbed because it’s low grade and cleaned.
