Sorry, I'm on my phone and tried but not tech savy
Thank you Tramp!
That's the first time for me seeing a counterfeit slab and 1889-CC coin come up on eBay. Getting real ballsy now. Glad I have mine all already but for that price, I only buy in-person face to face.

Reported. It's mind-boggling how many errors are in that one listing. Its saving grace is that the starting price is 50 Gs.
I also reported, hopefully it will get taken down soon.
Are they trying to fake die polishing lines now??
Look at this one. Granted it's $900 not $50K but still a lot of money to most.

While I revile scammers, I also have a great deal of trouble summoning up any sympathy for one who would pay huge bucks on eBay for a coin so obviously all wrong.

The cert number does check out. Here's an image of the real deal and it's a nice 63. pcgs.com/cert/36198467
As far as I know the 1921-P Morgan is the only one PCGS states 'Morgan' on the insert.

You are correct @braddick ! They used the 1921-P "Morgan" label for their template.
I actually own one of these; sold by the same bad Chinese seller as the others. The web sight uses images of a genuine one here: https://pooideg.com/products/1889-cc-morgan-silver-dollar
Mine from my master list of bad:
The 89cc has been taken down.
Thanks to all who reported!
Modern fakes are struck coins, wouldn't they come by die polish lines naturally?
Older cast fakes sometimes used transfer dies which would transfer the fire polish lines also, wouldn't they?
Did anyone record the seller's name for the "PCGS" example the OP posted?
