The first one is a new eBay seller with all counterfeit coins (Morgan dollars, hobo Morgans, and silver eagles) - it would be great to nip this one in the bud:
By the way, an easy tell on these particular counterfeit silver eagles is that the date is too large.

Here's a seller specializing in counterfeit 1878 Morgan dollars:
And here are some that he has already sold:

How do you nab these guys?
Open up each of their listings in eBay and scroll down to the Description. On the right hand side of the page, there is a link that says "Report Item".
Lots of work on these
Not sure about the hobo morgans since they aren’t claiming morgans or even silver
The fake hobo Morgans are only two of the listings. They do have a full Morgan reverse that says "United States of America" and "One Dollar", and do not say "copy" anywhere.
Check out the other listings

The G$1 checks out - I just looked up the NGC certification.
The cert can check, but it is possible to fake certs
The cert page has photos of the coin in slab and they match the eBay listing. They are different photos, but you can tell it is the same coin and slab.
Coin in slab?
Those slabs are for home users to store their stuff
I see they didn’t waste time with labels
Reported all other than the Hobo Morgans.
Looks like the holiday shopping season has brought out all the scam artists.... Good work spotting/reporting them. Cheers, RickO
