1895 Morgan

I found this on Ebay, it looks like it might be an authentic 1895-P Morgan but I wanted some backup. What do you think? Here is the URL.

I have asked for more detailed scans, hopefully this seller will provide them so I can share with the group!

HMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I emailed the seller and asked for a large scan of the rev. I want to see the mint mark area

I can't tell much of anything from the picture in the auction.
It does look to be the same coin as the anacs card. The flat rim area below the date matches well.

I just wrote and asked what the reserve is....

The coin looks real enough to me. It's that goofy ANACS slab that I've never seen before.

MadMarty

It's not a slab, it a 3" X 5" card with the grade and the picture of the coin. I have one for a morgan cira 1985.

I would be real careful on this one. They have circulated spelled incorrectly on the certificate.

jbsteven

they have the reserve set at 15,000 and they asked me why i wanted to know the reserve.

MrKelso

They never replied to my request for a shot of the rev

I wish the coin was in a slab not raw. How do we know if it real? Anyway it is cheaper than the
1895 Pr67 NGC that was selling for $57,000 last week.

It looks like the coin in the pict but that don't mean that it is. The picts aren't good enough to attribute a Proof.

The coin appears to match the photos on the certificate. If it does in person then I would say it is genuine. ANACS was VERY good at authentication and the photos on the certificates are actual photos not a "half tone" printed picture made up of dots. You can actually put a magnifier on the pictures to enlarge them to make sure the photo matches the coin.

BillJones

Yes. the coin does appear to match the photo on the ANACS certificate, and ANACS was good at authentication.

I'm surprised that the seller has not had this coin slabbed. It certainly would make it easier to sell. The $15,000 reserve is in the ballpark according to the price guides, but if you can afford to spend $15K for a coin, why not come up with another 7 to 9 K to it and get a PR-63 or 64?

agree completely w/ the last 2 posts. imo, those photocertificates represent the high-point of certification. i own a bunch of em myself.
