Just curious if this could be a real 1885 S morgan? The mintmark looks a little weird to me but I don't know. These are the only photos from the seller

The date definitely doesn't look right. Also the stars are puffy and the surfaces look weird by BUS in PLURIBUS.

The dare is wrong, minor discrepancies on the letters, pass on it.
Looks like a counterfeit from these photos.

The mint mark looks odd, that would be enough to me to say pass its a fake.
I concur with the others, bad counterfeit

It looks wrong to me.

Date and MM look wrong. Not the best pics, but here’s authentic obv. and rev. photos. Compare for yourself.
Could be real. But I wouldn't take the chance. I think the photos are effed up due to the capsule as well as the lighting.

Not worth the risk. Pass
For comparison to (what other collectors inform me is) a Chinese counterfeit) —
Fake.
Check to see if it is magnetic. I have a whole set of fakes and they are all magnetic. I bought them knowing that they were fakes though.
I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't have the coin. He is showing sellers pics.

Bogus. Mushy strike, and incomplete wing feathers is all I need to see.

Letters are all wrong, profile is all wrong etc etc
