Both the 89 and 79 are clearly fakes.

School me here... all I'm really seeing are crappy out of focus pics. What are the diagnostics indicating they're fake?

I am glad someone can see details in those pictures... I cannot. Too blurry.... I will say the surfaces look buffed/whizzed whatever.... Cheers, RickO

I'm in the "help me learn" camp. Beyond the sudden plethora of raw, rare date, CC Morgans, what are the "clearly fake" indicators?

I don't know how to tell rom those pics but on that reverse the CC looks a bit odd.

For coins that are purportedly "mint state", the details are too soft (lettering, date, etc) even with the slightly out of focus pics; the luster does not cartwheel properly; the denticles are uneven and wrong, the eagle has a lot of blank spots in areas between the feathers; and finally, the "CC" is just wrong - it is a commonly seen CC counterfeit.

I bought one from a forum member here and I am pretty sure it is fake. Not big dollar but still. I would say check the mm weight & the diameter. Most fakes will be in the higher value ones. Good luck.

Photos are of eBay qualitiy so have to be fakes.
BTW why would anyone buy the expensive Morgans raw anymore.
