After all this time the counterfeiters still can't get the 2 right.

It just screams at you, knew it was no good before I clicked on the listing.
Waiting for a response from the seller. Legit CC Morgan with a tooled date?
The 2 is clearly NOT a CC product, the 1 is also not right either.

This is bad.... Reported..
Yeah, my response was a little vague and left to be interpreted in various ways. The digits are bad, it's bad that there are people currently bidding on it and it's bad for the market.
Would one of you guys show a novice like me 1 or 2 simple examples on This coin that identifies that this coin is countierfit? Thank you
Here is a side by side comparison of the counterfeit on the right and a genuine example borrowed from PCGS CoinFacts on the left. There are many subtle differences, but the most glaring here is the differences in the shapes of the digits. Look at each number carefully and it will jump out at you pretty quickly.
The side by side is clear as day, good job Justin.
Nice presentation Justin..... Done this way, it is a valuable learning tool for forum members. Cheers, RickO
Looks like the 9 is pretty horrible too, sorta like a 9 with an overbite.
Being part of this forum is a great step forward for anyone wanting to learn, you guy's really know your stuff.
Mr. JT Lee first thank you for sharing your professional thoughts much appreciated and great web site very impressive! I can tell I need some serious study on this subject so I ordered a book but also found some information I want to share for those who might want to learn also.
