That being said, looks cleaned if not the holder. I've gotten burned before based on photos so don't think you are the first. Buying raw on the...
Impossible to tell behind that holder. Those don't look like die polish lines, but I have plenty of plastic slabs that are scratched, and it's...
The thing is, they are producing them to make them look worn. A circulated Morgan doesn't look much, if any different than the photo on top....
A couple of years ago I perused Etsy and their listed coins. It reminded me of the email scams where a Nigerian prince needed help bringing his...
eBay should refuse to list anything coming from China. I will give them credit for noting it, but still. Etsy is an even bigger joke, those people...
I should piggy back older threads but I am too tired to look for them. I am seeing more and more China sellers plying their fake wares online....

So ESG has leaked into the grading process? :p
Yep. And the MSM is much dismayed we have the internet. But I digress. :p Do not believe everything you read, and sometimes not even what you see....

I swear, it got away! lol...........and I'm a salt water guy, a USCG certified captain as well. I became a guide a few years ago. I'm retired,...
You could be right. This is why I hate buying raw toned coins. I can't tell if they are environmentally damaged or enhanced. I am amazed at some...
I deleted it from my watch list. Dammit. I was so mad at my forgetfulness I poofed it from my watch list. :p
Speaking of oddities. About 3 weeks ago I saw an uncirculated Morgan engulfed in silicon in the shape of a ball. I was going to bid on it and...
MS61. But what do I know? Nice coin! Also, it appears to have a die crack on the reverse. So maybe some sort of VAM. But I have no idea if it is...
I grade it a VF. Very Fine MS64. :p
Didn't pull the trigger. Completely forgot about it, didn't look right somehow, already sold. No big deal. Went cheap, like barely over spot....
Shhhhhhhhhh. :p I figured someone paying attention would pick up on that.
I don't own it "yet". That's why I'm asking. :) Thanks
