Are all these CC Morgans fake? Ebay seller...

I was checking out prices on 1889 CC morgans. Obviously there are a ton of "replicas" out there.
This guy has a bunch of CC morgans listed... all with mostly the same look.
They look suspect to me. Like the dirt is artificial or something.

    image For one the letters aren't right. They have a baloon look to them. I bet these were stuck in the ground awhile to give them an authntic look.

    "this is a coin i bought myself at an auction, i am not a coin expert so i can make no claims as to its grading or if its even real. please take this into consideration and dont bid and complain later if its not what you expect it to be. please...if you dont want it dont bid on it. but it is a very nice coin and you will like it im sure, i had great fun with them. i have owned them for several years and they make great conversation starters. or show items to draw purchasers to your table during trade shows and such...you will recieve the actual coin pictured. email any questions you may have and i will try my best to answer them for you. its made of metal and will not stick to a magnet. it looks like its really old but like i said im not an expert.' image

    Yes, they are all fakes and he knows it. He's sold a lot before.

    I figured as much reading his description and return policy.
    What a hack. How do these people sleep at night?

    Please report this guy. If enough of us do so, it could cause Ebay to take action.
