[QUOTE="felinfoel, post: 730566, member: 21392"]I have a suspicious 1888 Morgan MS64, PCGS graded in a rattler holder. The issue is the certification number is 5022582, looking that up at PCGS lists a 1939 dime. [URL]http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/5022582.html[/URL] It's a 'common' MS64 Morgan (lists for $65 on PCGS' guide). Bought off Ebay for $53.99 with shipping. That price is inline for other common ms-64 Morgans, though low for a rattler (which should have been a clue). I'm assuming it's probably counterfeit. Seller has 10+ years and perfect feedback. If this is counterfeit, I am sure he had no idea. My mistake was not checking the cert first. If that becomes a $53.99 lesson for me, then I'm fine with that. It could be a lot worse. I compared vs a legit MS 64 Morgan in a rattler holder, and can see no difference. Not sure if they made counterfeited common Morgans in rattler holders. PCGS does say "Data entry errors occasionally may occur causing the information on the coin holder to differ from the PCGS database." Any thoughts on whether it could be a mistake? I attached scans of the coin. [IMG]http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/1240/img0002sc.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/5915/img0003.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
