I agree. This really hurts new collector's, who do not know there are repros out there.
For every time you stumble, never grumble... 'cause next time you'll stumble even less.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

#2 Shame on SEGS.
seems pretty obvious to me that it's not a real CC. Nothing wrong with the sellers auction - besides the fact they are slabbing silver rounds.
The guy should have paid more attention to what he was doing. And then to Neg the guy and call him a crook? That's not right.
hi, i'm tom.
i do not doctor coins like some who post in here.
No the seller is no angel, but the buyer was really stupid.
AND SEGS, well they have hit a new low.
Newb should have wondered why this seller had a basketful of these things for $44 each and there was no buying frenzy.
Seller offers 30 money back return policy; why the need for the neg?

Not only is the coin listed in the US coin section, it is listed in the Morgan dollar section!!!
The seller never says it is a copy "1889 Morgan CC Certified Silver Dollar {No Res}” is all that is said in the title.
Even the fine print is deceptive referring obliquely to "privately minted" and "non-monetary" is hardly stating that the coin is a replica. In fact one line simply states "The 1889 CC" Morgan Silver Dollar Proof you will receive will be PRF-69!!!"
This is fraud and the seller deserves the negative feedback.
The buyer did not show good judgment buying these coins, but it is possible that he has no idea what a real 1889 proof CC dollar would be worth. He may have simply thought that for $44 he could not go wrong on a nice looking 100+ year old US coin and that it must be real as it has been certified by a grading service.
This is the kind of seller that gives coin dealers, eBay and for that matter all merchants a bad name.
This guy makes us "wannabe" dealers look like angels.
Hopefully coin collecting has not lost a beginning collector because this person of unknown age has been burned.
SEGS has now reached the bottom of the barrel by encapsulating this junk and not boldly labeling it as COPY.
Could of been a non collector buying it for a friend or loved one.

MORON seller meets MORON buyer. They deserve each other.

No, I think that there is only ONE moron in this auction. The seller knows exactly what he's offering. Snake oil in a SEGS holder.

My brain is not working......MORON seller ......meant he is TOTALLY STUPID with regard to ethical standards. Obviously the seller is a charlatan.
It just sounded better as ....MORON meets MORON.

I think I'd use the word Slippery. He's out to catch the stupid and the naive and he doesn't give a damn about ethics ... or the hobby for that matter
