1889 CC Morgan Craigslist scam

I was looking at Craigslist and found this coin. It has the correct certificate number, but it is not the same coin that sold in a Heritage Auction. Looking at the spacing between PCGS AU50, the spacing on the CL coin is off. The rubbber gasket/ring around the coin is different also. Take a look and see what you think.

    Fake coin in a fake slab. Sent him a note telling him he's been outed and don't be surprised if a local
    undercover shows up as the buyer.....lol

    the police..

    Thank you for contacting me alerting me the coin is fake. I have contacted the seller I got it from and reported him to the police.
