All the way from Hong Kong... 
Somewhere during the flight over the "COPY" removed itself from the reverse...
What do you expect for only .10 cents...
The seller did place a Customs value at 15.00

<< <i>10 cents shipped? >>
3.10 shipped...But it was worth it to see what quality he was putting out...I have a trade dollar on the way as well.
That one was I think 3.76 shipped...
I am going to ask a forum member that lives close to weigh it for me. This was from the seller who was
discussed in a prior thread..

Also, I don't see luster. I see a shiny coin.
This could also be the photographs, so I ask...do you see the same things I see when the coin is in your hand? Or is it just a photographic trick?
The strike, and the lettering and the fields being so clean for such a worn look to the design.

And it has a distinct ring to it also
Yes it has no luster..Just looks like a cleaned coin..No trick to the pics..No trick photography on my end..
This is why I spent 3 bucks for this and a 1873-S seated dollar which is on the way.
When you have this coin sitting next to an original you can detect small errors that will help protect my
buying in the future. Knowledge is priceless
My neighbor is going to China this year on business and I intend on having her
pick me up a few PCGS slabs as well..
After I get the Seated dollar all I have left would be the Morgan. I should have a weight next week.
it was not a gift as it is stated on the customs form
and being counterfeit
it is our duty to report these if we want it to stop
customs violations

Could we wait until i receive my Morgan and Seated dollar?? I don't want to be out 3 bucks. And I really want the
Morgan to compare....
<< <i>Counterfeiters are getting better and better, which is bad news for this hobby/industry. >>
So true. I was just thinking the same thing a little bit ago.
The name is LEE!
<< <i>There is a "bump" on Liberties nose which creates a gulley in the bridge area of an authentic Peace Dollar which does not exist on this coin from what I can tell.
<< <i>I dont know... to me... "buying" fake coins just keeps these guys pumping out more and more....... >>
This is why I bought them..I am starting a Graded and Raw set of Morgans and Peace dollars..If me spending
.10 cents to educate myself enough not to buy a fake for my collection keeps this guy in business then I am sorry.
It's better than spending HUNDREDS on a KEY date that is fake...
I can gaurantee you it cost him all of the 3 bucks he charged for shipping to get this .10 cent coin to me.
I know rice is cheap but a dimes worth ain't that much...
And if I can help even 1 newbie like myself at one time, not get suckered on Ebay then I will consider this a worthy cause.
After I am done taking pics and studying them I would be glad to mail them to another member to study..And then they could
mail them to another...
That way I am not considered an enabler....
<< <i>I am Sorry to disagree. However, that coin just screems "I am not right"

If you look closely, it appears the image and lettering are tilting unevenly. Something is off. Could be my eyes, but I don't think so.
