Never seen the bar code so small before: Link

Scarily enough, it appears to be a newer version looking at the hologram on the back.

Compare it to a similarly shot slab from the same seller: Link

For future reference:

compare to:

OK will get mine out of the way as they don't show the same thing your concerned with.

Linde,

I'm concerned about the MS64 slab. Look at how small the serial number is. Not nearly as big as yours.

Stealer I have been contacted by one of our friends that no longer posts here and he does not think this is a fake.

Those are both pretty Morgan in a non-ricko-sort-of-way.

I have seen the barcode that small but not the numbers. I have a few labels that look like they were cut off a little, but there is more space on the top.

I just noticed both Morgans are back up for sale, with (reasonable) BIN's if anyone saw these originally and wanted one or both. . .

Reasonable is somewhat debatable imo, this bin is the same starting price of the last auction that did not sell.

i did see some pcgs slab matching that number size as the 1885 MS64 in this thread here

not that guarantees authenticity, but that there are variations in the font size for many pcgs holder generations

The 1896 is priced $10. over PCGS sheet. 1896 Morgans are difficult in GEM with attractive toning.
(I went ahead and followed my own logic and purchased it.)
