[QUOTE="DMPL, post: 431268, member: 15534"]What really gave it away to me was as I picked the coin up this morning, I knew that it felt lighter than a Morgan Dollar which is what caused the exercise for me to bring in some calibrated weights and check out the scale. Good news is that it was purchased using PayPal and is supposedly backed by their loss provision should the seller not make good (and I believe he will). Sad news is that this seller had previously sold two other different Trade Dollars on eBay in recent weeks. I can only hope that the buyers either purchased a coin that was legitimate or that they found out otherwise and got their money back. Best part of this story is how a group of knowledgable numismatists came together to give their unbiased assistance to a collector who needed their expertise. For that, my friends, I am all the richer. My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you! :smile[/QUOTE]
