Coincidence?

Is it mere coincidence that this seller is offering four different Morgans altered to 1893-s? Maybe he's practicing for something?

You know those will be back on the market as "genuine". Also practicing with shining up the fields.

Damn! Take a look at this one!

They did a little more than just adding a mintmark or altering the date on that puppy.

At least they state its Altered

The Deep Cameo looks like it has a better "s", or were these originally 83-s?--------------------------BigE

It seems the one Russ posted is his latest work. BTW, I'm going to try to buy it for my counterfeit collection.

I suspect they were 1898-S coins. It looks like the "3" has been altered. The inside of the top loop of the 3 is wrong (too much open area), the center spine is too long and thin. Compare the 3 on this NGC graded 93-O with the altered coin.

Yep, I see it now and i believe you are right Conder----------------------BigE

Good eye. Ugly coinage.

Looks like the seller either bought this one, or has had it for a while.

I was searching ebay back on Sept. 8th of this year for 1893-S Morgans. Copying pics for reference, and came across this one.

Look like the same coin ?

I don't know if eBay will stop this seller or not, but I reported him anyway. I think it is just terrible if these coins get out and into the hands of some unsuspecting collector or dealer.

Off with his head!

Coincidence?
