Simply a questionable coin to me. I'll remove this link. The small hits on the cheek are not visible in the eBay photos and the font on the label looks slightly different, but since everybody's sure it's the same coin........

<< <i>You be the judge. The font on the slab selling on eBay looks pretty heavy to me. Prior Heritage auction (2007) closed at $1,600+ w/juice. eBay $1250 BIN??

Looks like the same coin to me. Look at the mark on the reverse to the right of the eagles's wing. The eBay seller's pictures look overly done, while the HA pictures are typicla pics for HA. I don't think it is fake, but then again, I am not 100% great at picking up on these.
My conclusion: I don't know.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

I agree. Looks like the same Morgan to me.

The colors of a hologram change with even slight shifts in the viewing angle.
<< <i>same coin...false alarm. You need to learn more about coin photography before raising the alarm as your thread could have cost that ebayer a sale and it appears he has done nothing wrong.
Agreed. It looks to me like the seller might have just boosted the contrast a lot in his auction photos. Definitley the same coin.
