    Sure zero feedback seller, the image looks nothing like the one at PCGS' cert verifier... it's a $900 coin oh and he confuses the word yuan with dollar.

    Item location is China.
    Does *NOT* seem legit to me just based on location.

    If you spend some time and stroll through Alibaba and look at all the coins that look real, you'll start understanding the swatch of fakes out there even in slabs. Order, buy, get quotes for quantity, etc.

    Don't just look at price as you'll get ripped off.

    I was reading the posts above yours as sarcasm. Seriously, I wish someone would invent a sarcasm font. [SARCASM] .... [/SARCASM] or something code-y would be awesome.

    Under $10 with 20 minutes to go. At least no one (yet) seems to be getting fooled. Shoot, bidder(s) might be someone buying to have a fake example to show off. Will be fun to watch the last 20 minutes. Edited to add: reporting on the off chance eBay will notice.

    Went ahead and reported as copyright/trademark violation (fake PCGS slab), which might stand a better chance of getting attention than the fake-coin flag.

    pcgs has many images of the coins they certify. The Trade Dollar in the auction has that "old" finish, but doesn't look like the one on PCGS website.

    Looks like the Morgan went for $38 and the trade dollar went for $112. :confused:

    "Chinese counterfeit U.S.A. silver dollars

    Reid Goldsborough has recently added photographs of a further five counterfeit silver dollars from China onto his website. These pieces were bought in local flea markets in China. They were made from a copper/nickel alloy rather than silver and weighed between 18 and 21g.


    The Phillipines National Bureau of Investigations have "expressed alarm" over the numbers of fake U.S.A silver dollars in Manilla markets. The advice to American tourists and internet purchasers must be, do not buy silver dollars from asian sources."

    Everybody in the counterfeiters also missed that the trade dollar was X Newman Green... which certainly would have been on the genuine label
