Is this a counterstamp on this 1894-O Morgan?

  Russ, that's not a "W" it's an upside-down "M"!

  It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  Such a touching story ... I have not car so I have to charge you $12 shipping for something that is worth less than $10 'cause I have to pay cabfare.... AND he's had to do this 190 times???? That's the number of ebay transactions he has.
  
  I don't have a problem with changing a few bucks for postage, like $3 for a $51 item (That's the amount to get the receiver to sigh for a First Class Insured package) but $12???
  Maybe the "W" stands for "WOW."

  I have a Barber half with a very similar "W" on it, but my counterstamp is smaller.

  I collect circulated U.S. silver

  W stands for Worn. If it is an M it stands for Mutilated.

  Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  Check out this description that he wrote. Not very politically correct on top of charging a car ride to ship his coins.

  Aaron,
  
  Thank you for pointing that out. I was actually interested in a couple items he had and was trying to work out reasonable shipping. This skinhead loser will not be getting my business after reading that garbage.

  Just another bigotted scumbag with an axe to grind. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

  I reported him to eBay for the anti-Semitic slurs as well as the cabfare shenanigans.
  
  Now let's sit back and see if he gets NARU'ed, or if eBay ignores it...
