<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SthrnSqrl, post: 929096, member: 26171&quot;]Ok, update here. Needing some money, I listed the Morgan on Ebay. After the price got up over $1500, Ebay pulled my listing saying the coin was counterfeit. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, disgusted as all get out, I sat down with my loupes, camera, and strong light, and started looking for reasons they would think it is a fake. One thing I found, that I think is odd, is what appears to be evidence of a die clash on the reverse, and a major die crack running straight through the date, from the bust.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Markers I have found:</p><p>High set 9 in date</p><p>die break through entire date from bust side</p><p>dropped 2nd c in MM</p><p>evidence of die clash on reverse, to left of wing, just to the right of wheat</p><p>line running from bottom of N in the motto, southward to top of wing</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These are what I have found so far...it&#039;s late, I&#039;m tired, and can&#039;t find my microscope. Let me know if you think any of these indicate a forgery, or if it may indeed be worth getting the coin authenticated. I&#039;m going to bed. Good night, and thanks in advance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Andrew[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
