[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2827716, member: 20480"]This very high quality contrivance scares the daylights out of me, as I'm pretty sure I would have missed the fact that this is not a genuine 1889-CC. Even now, after having seen the images, I'm not sure that if the forger had been a bit more fastidious, I would have been able to determine this as an alteration. Not being a serious specialist in Morgan Dollars - one who would know the dies and die pairings for the many important issues in the series - there is only one obvious giveaway that I see. I will gladly share that information, but only with long-standing CT members . . . 500 messages or more. I don't want to publicize such information, and inadvertently give a forger another piece of information to leverage in the future, so please PM me if you want to discuss. - Mike[/QUOTE]
