No response from the seller.
I've reported to eBay yet sometimes it takes multiple reports to shut it down.
I'm a bit worried the BIN is tempting enough for someone.

you know, every now n then there just may actually be one honest person that bought something like this for a song and to have the rug pulled out from under them sure would be frustrating BUT this is one of those instances where i AM actually for the rug pull.

At least with this one someone (the seller) can look up the cert and see the real coin had a prior auction appearance and then can see that this counterfeit does not match the auction images.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
On a side note: Why these slab counterfeiters are placing "Morgan" on the insert is nuts. Other than 1921, PCGS doesn't do that.

Notified the seller and he ended the listing.
Besides the obviously incorrect font on the label, I'm reasonably sure the real label for this coin would not say "Morgan".
Found the genuine slabbed one:
Gone!!! Good job.
Also doesn't have the NFC symbol molded in the plastic on the obverse side in the lower left corner.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me....
Or the PCGS logo in the right obv corner...
Damn, these counterfeiters are using all of their tricks............ but in reality, in a roundabout way, they are finally teaching the gullible newbie collectors about counterfeits way more than actual informed coin collectors can teach them.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Listing is gone... Though still accessible. With the amount of work the counterfeiters are putting into these products, they will have to move a few to break even. Cheers, RickO
Man, that is crazy - If you can't trust PCGS slabs on eBay, what can you trust?
I get that there is a lot of merch out there. I need to be careful I guess.
Sup. Morgans are cool - So are Ducatis.
