    This Ebay seller has a number of them listed for sale: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZnstbtr2

    One of the coins looks genuine to me but all of the others appear to be counterfeit. The seller has been reported to Ebay, so hopefully the listings won't be up there for too long.

    The 1889-CC looks genuine. The rest are obvious fakes.

    The seller has ZERO feedback - that's a warning sign. I wonder if that CC reverse goes with that 1889 obverse.

    I believe that the 1889 is counterfeit. One of the other ones looks genuine to me.

    what is stamped on the wing on some of them?

    I would think if I had to name the real one, maybe the 1891

    Doesn't mention the CC in the titles.

    What part of China/Texas is he all from?

    Cripes, I'm not even a Morgan collector but I can SMELL those through my monitor!

    I say the 1891 is real but I'm no expert on Morgans.

    I thought it probably said something like that, was hard to read though :)

    If they are really 90% silver, would they not be worth $11 to melt down??

    Thanks to those of you who reported the listings - they have been removed by Ebay.

    Several members here actually have nice counterfeit silver US Dollars, complements of Bonedigger. :) I ended up getting 14 fake Chinese Morgan Dollars a few years ago and I've held several contests with the prize being one of these counterfeit coins. Here are a couple of pics of old prizes.

    Take Care

    Gotta start checking the seller's location so that I can grab a few.
