Don't know, but it now has fingerprints.

Fair enough. Any other part of numismatics is far less work, doesn’t require a deep knowledge base, and is a much surer bet. You got me there. 

Your biggest hurdle will be Ebay, I think, because it will serve up frequent changes and inconsistencies that are nearly always to your disadvantage. If you read Dilbert, it's like the pointy-haired boss is running Ebay and Wally is doing the programming (or rather, the bugging).

Our club does something much like this. Any new YN is encouraged to choose a coin. If they return and give a presentation on it, they get to pick another one. One of the YN frequent fliers in this regard, with his dad, was one of my front desk and setup helpers at our coin show last time we were able to have it, and he made a very important contribution. Not only do we need them to carry the torch, we need them involved and active and taken seriously.

Use a 1/2" dowel rod. Based on my experience in a Baptist elementary school, that's about the worst short of a sjambok.

I know these guys. They know their stuff, are honest, have fair pricing, and are not going to sell you some fake *spoon*.

Indeed. However, it's not so immediate to build up a reputation. Any seller with low feedback, I ask myself why. Where it is not possible to fully get rid of bad people, it's at least possible to make it harder for them to do well. The feedback math is such that if even two of their first fifty are negative (on a new circumventing account), it'll look lousy for them. They'll never know how many people just came, looked, rolled eyes, and left without buying. Even a hundred feedbacks take some time to accumulate, unless there's some cheating method I don't know about. (I guess one could have 25 accounts each 'buying' for 'local pickup' one cheap item which is marked paid, all leaving positive feedback, each spaced over a week apart for a month, but that might be more headache than just earning the feedback for real.)
It's especially important because good business and good Ebenezer etiquette don't suggest it's worth just hanging a neg on someone. The person who has a problem and knows the score will typically write to the vendor, explain the problem, and ask for it to be addressed. Often it's a partial refund. Only very foolish vendors fail to understand the subtext: "If I get fair value when this is said and done, I'm happy. I don't have a desire to hurt your feedback unless that's my only recourse. Your move." Sensible vendors make an offer that will remove the buyer's sense of having been damaged. Sensible buyers accept, smile, and either leave no feedback or something positive. A neg is most likely when that process didn't work well.
And in those cases, thinking potential customers look at a neg and ask themselves: does it look like this is fair criticism that was never addressed, or does this just look like the kind of random trash truck that motates around the world looking for a dump? If it's one in hundreds, I tend to figure this vendor just got Karened with a mighty Karening. It'll happen to every seller eventually. But if it's a pattern, I look for that pattern.

Shill bidding isn't allowed and they can permaban people for it.
The best weapon against bad sellers is to give them negative feedback. In most areas, anything less than 99.5% positive and I steer clear. Not that it's not inflated; it seriously is. But if there is negative feedback, I read it, and I also look to see how they respond to it. If they're smart, they avoid mudslinging. If they pitch a b-word fit, repeatedly, that suggests to me that they're probably part of the problem. It also means I'm probably not buying from them. I would not neg anyone casually, but bad sellers should be negged hard and often.

Could be. I agree with your motivation to question it.

Colors look really weird. The obverse color looks very AT to me, going by the way the coloring tracks around the devices. The reverse color looks like a hideously cleaned large cent colorwise. I can't say how it might have gotten this way, but I can say it makes me doubtful.

Just curious about which TPG company will be grading this shower ? Will it be NGC or PCGS or perhaps ANACS ? Perhaps it will get a green bean as well  

You only presented the obverse (pardon me a wearisome sigh of resigned frustration at that). If you were asserting a doubled die, it would make sense for you to present the side where you felt you saw the doubling (the obverse). Thus, DDO (stands for 'doubled die, obverse').
What I was trying to tell you, as tactfully as possible and with apologies for having done so too tactfully to get the point across, is that you were repeating yourself in a baffling way. It was baffling because it's like saying "eggs, toast, and chicken eggs." Easier to understand now? "Motorcycles, scooters, and Harleys." "Whisky, rum, and Dalwhinnie." "Cigars, cigarillos, and Macanudos." Chicken eggs are eggs. Harleys are motorcycles. Dalwhinnie is a whisky. Macanudos are cigars.

I don't run along just because someone orders me to. I do avoid people who get mad when someone, instead of just telling them they sound _mentally_lacking, explains courteously without using unkind words. The mark of someone unworthy of education is the person who doesn't have the basic comprehension to thank someone who tried to alleviate that person's self-humiliation rather than highlight it. Everyone who reads your response will now know what to expect from helping you.

I see it. The toning makes it look more pronounced, but if you look closely, you should see the basic indentation. I think that's another notable ding above it, at the temple, that shows more clearly in both pics. I do not reckon that's part of the design.

The mint mark does not look right and parts of the reverse look quite circulated.

Thanks, Cb. Had never known those specifics.

FS is a designation given to Jefferson nickels that have full, unbroken steps on the reverse building (Monticello, Jefferson's estate). I have heard of 5FS and 6FS distinctions, and am not sure which is meant here. The slightest nick in a step, that breaks its fullness, will disqualify it from the FS designation, so it is a desirable one. 67 is a very high grade, but usually what disqualifies a Jeff from FS is striking weakness. On most in that era, the steps were never complete even when the coin left the mint; my guess is that this had to do with the die state (early, I would think, would be best).
A green bean, the slang term for a CAC sticker, is issued by Certified Acceptance Corporation to an already slabbed coin if in their opinion it meets or exceeds the full specifications for the assigned grade. They're saying that the 44-D is at the very least a solid 66RD--a very nice grade.

This is the response I got back from the seller after I contacted them about the fake Morgans:
 
Dear Friend,Thanks for the message.Sorry to say that they are unbranded, but the same with the one shown in the photo.But the quality is guaranteed.Any more questions are welcome.Best regards,Melody
 
Anyone want to wager that English is not their first language? Not that that really means anything evil, but it does let me know that this is likely a foreign seller, and that increases the likelihood that they are not concerned with (or familiar with) our Hobby Protection Act.
 

That's why it's generally considered very bad form here to explain the signs of counterfeiting. Even if the OP isn't faking coins, the visiting fakers can get valuable feedback if someone blurts it out. It's a legit question, and totally understandable, but it's one best not expounded upon.

Note where the listing says, well down where most people won't notice it:
"2.The photo is an example an the coins, actual coins may not be the same dates."
So, in fact, the photo is not necessarily the coins the buyer will receive. They might be some of the posted coins, or they could be whatever random Morgans (or Morgan fakes) dude happens to have.
