[QUOTE="ITSALLGOLD, post: 271934, member: 10066"]Andy Warhol was right! Im getting my 15 mins of shame! What a dummy. I just started collecting Morgans in May and know just enough to be dangerous. I used to read all the forums daily and have read about fakes but for some reason I let greed get to me on this one. Anyone see the recent seller with only a feedback of 3 on ebay selling several complete penny albums and a complete 1891-1897 Morgan collection? I very nearly got up early to score on those but changed my mind at the last minute. Minutes ago ebay sent out a notice of auction cancelled on all of those. I suspect they were stolen if they existed at all. I came close to being suckered on that as well. Seller wants me to prove the 1893S is a fake. I told him I would pay once he has it in a PCGS slab. Of course then it would be worth more if real. Im starting to suspect he knows its bogus by the defensive tone of his emails. Im down to 1894, 1893S and 1895 proof for my A-Team Morgan album and I guess as much as I hate slabs I'll have to buy certified coins for those dates and put copies in the album. Anyway as emBARE-ASSing as this is, its a good lesson for myself and other dummys like me to look closely at what seems to be a bargain. Thank goodness someone emailed me instantly as the auction ended and my user name became visable. I read it just as I was getting ready to paypal. This ebay deal of hiding bidders names on $1000+ auctions is not a great idea. OK, Im ready for the whipping I deserve from you all, cant be any worse than listening to my wife's "told you this coin deal will ruin you" (8-)[/QUOTE]
