<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mycohopper, post: 859872, member: 21377&quot;]Browsing eBay, I came upon a seller who auctions lots of rare Morgan dollars. There are several characteristics about this seller and his products that raise my attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>1] ALL of his coins are raw, not graded, but in AU-MS condition (these are $200 - <b>$9,000</b> coins)</p><p>2] 90% of the Morgans he sells look like mirrors (advertised as &quot;proof like fields&quot;.. very fishy)</p><p>3] Some of his coins have questionable mint marks (see below link)</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at this 1879-CC Morgan - particularly the mint mark. The &quot;CC&quot; is big and it&#039;s centered [<img src="http://www.consultationfinder.com/devon/images/red-flag.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />]. The authentic coins I&#039;ve browsed through all have the first &quot;C&quot; directly above the outside curve of the &quot;D&quot; and the second &quot;C&quot; ends before the &quot;O&quot; begins. This coin, however, does not exhibit either of those traits. I&#039;m looking through his other coins - maybe something else will support my suspicion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the link to the auction. Keep in mind.. this coin sold for <span style="color: Red"><b>$6,900</b></span>&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>BUT! only after he listed it for sale for $8,500 the first time.. it didn&#039;t sell.. he then relisted it for $7,995.. didn&#039;t sell either. That&#039;s a $1,600 price difference in less than 2 weeks from his original price.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1879-CC-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-BEAUTIFUL-KEY-DATE-RARE_W0QQitemZ320515489860QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual%3Fhash%3Ditem4aa0364044" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1879-CC-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-BEAUTIFUL-KEY-DATE-RARE_W0QQitemZ320515489860QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual%3Fhash%3Ditem4aa0364044" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1879-CC-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-BEAUTIFUL-KEY-DATE-RARE_W0QQitemZ320515489860QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4aa0364044</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Pics for those of you without eBay [I don&#039;t blame you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2nj8gh.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/214t452.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/246p72o.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>What say you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
