<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 2638543, member: 84595"]I have been collecting coins for 62 years. I have reported many counterfeit and altered coins to ebay and still see them listed and not removed. EBay is more interested in their bottom line collecting fees. I just bought two coins from eBay seller which were counterfeit. I got my money back and they are off the market. I do this from time to time to take the coins off the market and get my money back at the same time. I use VAMWorld.com primarily to compare the die diagnostics of genuine coins. You should do the same. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-S-1-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-/192091661179?hash=item2cb98e237b:g:W-8AAOSwopRYj1wc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-S-1-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-/192091661179?hash=item2cb98e237b:g:W-8AAOSwopRYj1wc" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-S-1-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-/192091661179?hash=item2cb98e237b:g:W-8AAOSwopRYj1wc</a> is not genuine and is one of three coins being auctioned by coinman1652. There are two bids on this coin already. eBay is doing nothing about it and it has been reported to them. I also consult for government authorities on counterfeit and altered coins. Don P above has given good advice. Buyer beware on eBay. There are at least three 1885-CC that are counterfeit on eBay right now. Buy graded or from a reputable dealer. If the seller does not offer a refund, RUN. Remember there was only one obverse die used for the 1893-S and two reverse dies. As for the coins you posted. They don't match any know diagnostics. Also if they look cast, PASS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
