Hey experts....
I need to add an 1879-CC in AU condition to my registry in the worst way but this one looks fishy, even to my untrained eye:
Thoughts?

Looks counterfeit to me.
It's real...Pewter
Seller has a feedback of 1 and listed a coin for $2000? Run like you can feel the Devil's pitchfork pressing on your ass
After all these years my wife still thinks I'm sexy. Every time I walk by she says "What An Ass"
Cast.
I did report it, probably would help if others did as well.
No question, fake.
Thanks to all. Appreciate the wisdom.

Looks fake.
Run away....fast.... Looks like a cast fake....Cheers, RickO
eBay took it down. Must have been enough reports.
Blurry pics and it look bogus. Run for the hills
So based on your kind and educated advice, I did run for the hills on the uncertified Morgan above. So back to the search and I came across this certified coin (although not in AU):

The first thing I do when considering a certified coin is to verify it on the PCGS or NGC website. Well, here is what I found. Any explanation? Isn't this usually a sign the coin and been crossed to another TPG? What is it about the 1879-CC Morgan that attracts all mystery?

I forgot to post the pictures of the OP’s post but here they are. Got busy yesterday always good to snap a picture so others can see what your referring too especially once it gets removed.

Thanks Gluggo - good suggestion. Posting pictures here of the second potentially questionable ebay listing:
