<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1657131, member: 37839"]This is the usual--a very expensive coin is posted that is raw, or basement slabbed, with marginal pictures. There are two possibilities with this coin--a) it is genuine, and just a picture of someone else's coin for sale. b) it is a good fake, and worth $20. I tend to go with alternative "B" as most of the 1892s coins in higher grades have been slabbed years ago--Morgans have that kind of audience pull, and even newbie collectors know what they have. I doubt seriously that a $2000+ coin is just sitting there, waiting for someone to crack it from a basement slabber. The coin is cleaned, and NOT AU if it is genuine. My guess would be that it is a high quality fake. Best possible grade would be XF details--cleaned. Worst possible grade---fake! My advice on valuable Morgans--avoid marginal sales like the plague. If one wants a good date like that, get it from a RELIABLE dealer, in PCGS or NGC plastic for authenticity's sake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
