Seems to be this one:

• Lot 12: https://sherrardauctioncompany.hibid.com/lot/77070530/1879-cc-morgan-dollar
• Auction: https://sherrardauctioncompany.hibid.com/catalog/245747/coin-and-currency-auction-11-14/

It's a bit hard to find from their website:

Since I'm not a Morgan collector, can you point out what stood out to you that made you notice a fake? tnx

That reverse is the same that is seen coming from China on CC dollars in past few years. Here is one on my desk with the diagnostics circled. This dollar is made from very worn dies but you can still see the "tells".
