This one is a Chinese counterfeit. There are real 1895 Morgan dollars that have had their S or O mintmarks removed to imitate the 1895 Morgan dollar.

The painted on and wiped off black patina is the first dead giveaway for me. Look closer and nothing else is right.
The date is the dead giveaway. There are no known 1895 P Morgan dollars.

I hope the buyer gets their money back! The coin itself looks funny.

Circulated Proof?
Be a nice coin for a counterfeit collection if it was being sold as such for a few dollars.

the auction is still live, it hasn't been shut down yet, has been sold and shipped to new owner
Thank you.

Honestly, why do coin collectors repeatedly fall for such tactics? Some people seem willfully stupid.

@Sonorandesertrat Like P.T.Barnum said "theres a sucker born every minute" although nowadays it seems they are born more frequently. Maybe every 10 seconds or so.

Stupid is not against the law, no matter how much they try to protect them.
auction was vaporized, good job everyone!
Indeed it went poof
Circulated poof?
Why would anyone, newbie or not, think they could buy such a valuable coin for $500. It looks awful.
