    The majority of his coins look suspect.

    Yep

    The relief is wrong, the dentiles are uneven, fields have lumps in them and it's got that "made yesterday" toning.

    Other than those problems it's a wonderful item ... NOT image

    The auction has been ended.

    I wonder if it will appear again?

    Thanks Rick and all.
    Is this a die struck counterfeit? I've seen the added 'S' fakes before, but this is new to me.

    Die struck counterfeit probably from China.

    Who would buy an 1896-CC Morgan Dollar or a 1799 Trade Dollar? Ignorant people with greed in their heart. The story is a “Coin World” this week. At least local authorities are starting to crack down on crooks who are peddling Chinese fakes to “mom and pop” stores and pawn brokers. That’s more than you can say for the Federal Government.

    I recently borrowed this 1886-CC "Morgan Dollar" for a presentation at my local club. This stuff is around and people are paying money for it.

    BTW these things are made of base metals and don't have a melt value that compares with genuine silver dollars.
