I ran the cert # through PCGS and everything checks out. What doesn’t check out is the date on the coin. Counterfeit slab? Label looks good to me and the typography is spot on. Counterfeit coin? If so, it’s a good one. I found a couple of details that raised minor doubts, but without higher res photos I don’t know if they’re real or just my imagination. And if it were counterfeit, why put it in a mis-labeled slab that might invite unwanted scrutiny?

Seller makes no mention of the discrepancy in the [URL='https://www.ebay.com/itm/1881-S-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-PCGS-MS63/383057260395?hash=item592ffdef6b:g:k5oAAOSw9AxdMM6N']ebay listing[/URL].
