I politely sent a message indicating that this dollar does not have the markers for the proof dollar of this day....this was 3 days ago.
I've not heard from him and the price just keeps getting higher. Okay, it is a nice PL Morgan but is it a proof?

I agree with your calling BS on this one.
Looks PL, but not a proof.
BS
What is this a pic of, Chris?
Business strike
Might be a PR58 ?????????????? Too much abrasion on the cheek that could come with circulation.
OINK
nah.not a proof.
"Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
-Albert Einstein-
Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
Not a proof
...kinda like a crazy Irishman who has never stepped foot in a professional boxing ring, challenging the greatest "boxer" whom ever lived to a professional boxing match...and all his crazy followers, wagering everything in their pockets that says he wins...eBay is full of suckers...on both sides
Doesn't look like it has the characteristics of a proof to me. Compare to the pics for this date on CoinFacts.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
I would say it's a business strike.
No way is that a proof!
PL business strike
It's a very exceptional business strike, but if he wants to sell it as a Proof, he'll have to get it certified. If it comes back as a Proof, some people will believe it.
To me it looks like a PL, not a proof so I also agree with everybody's opinion so for
This does not look like a proof.

Yes, that is a proof(like).
The bidders are unfortunately treating it like a proof. It is now slightly north of $800.

It is gone now....but from the picture in the OP, not a proof.... Cheers, RickO
Not only is it not a proof, it is not even PL. Not by today's standards anyway.
LQQK
it's not CAC'd. Don't buy it.
the irony is that it wouldn't cac with that grade/designation...which pretty much validates what cac does.
Most of the apparent proof like fields are probably imparted by the cellophane in the holder.
not a proof but rather a pooof!
