I now think the R in Pluribus looks too big which also seems to be commonly screwed up on counterfeit Morgans.</p><p><br /></p><p> Anyway, the guy needs to figure out what to do. I would try to work out a deal with the seller, letting him know you don't think it is genuine. If he screams about it, tell him you're willing to contact ebay and take the negative. That's what I would do at this point. Tell him you'll give him 35.00 and take it. If he agrees, save the e-mail for proof until you get it. Pay with credit card so you can back charge if necessary. If he refuses, turn it in. I don't think somebody else should be buying it. </p><p><br /></p><p> One way or another, I would look into it further to try to figure out if it is authentic. If it's not, worst case scenario, you have a very good counterfeit to study in hand that you didn't have to pay all that much for. </p><p><br /></p><p> If it is real, you get a better deal than you thought. I wouldn't send him full price for it though and if he complained, I'd turn it into ebay. Take the negative and save your money. Everybody's got one or two negatives these days.
