<p>[QUOTE="whopper64, post: 7978535, member: 101364"]It seems obvious, unless the potential buyer is a skilled and knowledgeable collector, that it is foolhardy to purchase a raw (or uncertified GSA holder) Morgan silver dollar. Even the certified Morgans may be counterfeit! Even the most prestigious auction houses have been victims of counterfeit Morgans. In fact, I read recently that there are occasions that the best TPG's have been fooled, although few and far between. It's just a matter of relying on a trusted dealer and/or the best auction houses and hope for the best. Ironically purchasing Morgans on e-Bay does safeguard the purchaser within limits. When purchased, take the Morgan to a trusted dealer or mail it off to NGC, PGCS, ANACS, or ICG to confirm authenticity. Time frames are important though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
