http://www.ebay.com/itm/1791-Morgan-Silver-Dollar/272450348513?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=39107&meid=44457d03a8cd466c9e84fede26b0c33d&pid=100033&rk=2&rkt=8&sd=302136827991



Searching some Ebay listings and ran across this bad boy. All signs point to this being authentic and I don't see any red flags, what do you guys think?

It just doesn't look right me. I don't like the lack of detail in some of the wheat stalks? Some of the low fields look more worn than the higher fields. I'm far from expert, jmo.

 

Well the fact it's a 1791 cc makes me question it's authenticity a tad bit

 

Duh!!! Its funny when you concentrate too hard and miss whats staring you in the face. Lol

 

Kazuma and bsshog40, you beat me to it. 1791 date on a trade dollar.... It is a reproduction (not authentic)

 

Not to mention there's two coins in that image....it's not seamed....

I free shipping!

 

Sadly there are 8 bids. They don't make reporting easy.
The title says it is a Morgan dollar. Of course it is counterfeit as trades
were only produced from 1873-1885.

 

Ships from NY ?

 

crap.

 

42 bucks for a repop
People should really research what they're bidding on

 

"Shipping needs: 12-35 working days."

after 30 days you have a real hard time getting a refund from a bank or Paypal.

scam city for who ever bought it.

 

I love how it was made in Carson City almost 70 years before Carson City was founded. Does that mean that time travel is somehow involved in the minting of this coin?

 

That just means that it is Super Special !!

 

Maybe the "CC" really stands for "Carbon Copy" or "Courtesy Copy" ;-)

 

Nah:
Courtesy of China

or


Chinese Copy

 

Just went poof

For a good reason.
Seller didn't want to have to follow up. Seller got paid .. and cancelled his eBay probably.

or maybe eBay caught on to it even if it was after the fact and cancelled the 0 seller account.

 

It's a "Fantasy Coin", instead of stamping "copy" on the coin they put a date that is way wrong for the issue.

However, there are sellers who will hook some poor suckers who will pay good money for these very obvious fakes.

Last week I watched a fake 1732 Sicilian 4 tari Fantasy Coin sell for over $300. on Ebay by clueless bidders.

I had informed the seller about the coin being a fake and he didn't care.

 

Ebay got it. That's the message you get when it's been removed forcibly.

 

And is exactly how it should be, the hypocrites be damned.
