Can i get some help with this one?

I'm on the border between EF45 and AU50 provided that the coin is problem free. I have my doubts, and suspect that the coin may have be polished (hence a bit of shine).

[BillJones]

I'm concerned about that oue. I question its authenticity. I don't like the chunks of medal in the reverse field and the filled top in the "G" in "GOD."

 

If you just bought it, I'd see about a refund pronto.

 

You really should not buy key dates like this raw unless you have an iron clad return policty or better yet, but it in a leading company's slab.

You know Bill, I was thinking the exact same thing after the OP posted this coin but I'm not real good with counterfiets and I didn't wanna stick my foot into an area I'm not familiar with.

i saw it selling cheap on a auction near by..

he called it 1 $ 1879-cc capped die..

selling for 500$

what does capped die means??

[Dudley the 1st]

A large CC over a small CC. You should be able to see evidence of the stamping of the larger mintmark over the smaller CC.

[Dudley the 1st]

I can't offer a confirmation from those photos. I do however agree it does have a polished look to it, especially on the reverse.

[Rawzone]

thanks alot..

I do not believe that coin to be authentic.

[coinman_23885]

Actually, I was being sloppy and didn't bother to check the coin for authenticity. In addition to the issues pointed out by the other board members, the date and mint mark look off as well. Please compare your coin to this one .

The piece DOES NOT show the capped die. The person who offered this obviously does not know what the capped die is.

 

I'll stick my by my first post that this piece is a counterfeit.

 

I don't collect Morgan dollars by date and mint, but I bought and sold them when I was a dealer, and this piece does not look right.

[mtnstyne]

What is going on with the CC? It looks "off" to me.

[C.I.]

I see the date as an issue. Looks to stand too tall and does not show the wear seen on the rest of the coin.

The instant I saw the images, I felt they were of a counterfeit coin.

Ahhh Blaming it on the glasses again huh )

 

[e1cnr]

Did you buy this coin?

 

 

I am not convinced it is a fake - could easily be cleaned/polished/lacquered/crappy pics

 

 

here is a link to VAM World page about the capped die - your coin shows the crappy CC and G filled in GOD

[Rawzone]

no i did not buy it.

but i was close. would listen to the pro´s first.

are you all still sure after e1cnr post?

if this coins is real what would a fair price be??

[bsshog40]

I'm still with Bill on this coin. When I zoom into this thing, I see some spots on the reverse like unsettled metal. I think the filled G in God is common but those metal bumps make me thing counterfeit.

I agree - Having accumulated 88 of these darn things you tend to get an eye for them. Its not a capped die / The detail to the ear lobe is not there but makes it look like it was worn away, like the hairlin,e which is impossible as these are two different surface levels on the coin. The numbers are irregularly spaced

(not uncommon though) The color washed or not is way off ... I can keep going .

[jgrinz]

Okay seeing as you twisted my arm

Look at the stars to the right of the nine and on the reverse

 

Look kinda strange huh Especially the reverse ones

 

Anyway good for checking in BEFORE buying it

selling cheap is a relative term - how do you know it is cheap?

 

 

there are billions of dollars of coins available everyday, if there is any question or problems - you need to learn to pass

 

 

unless you do not care about throwing away hundreds of dollars

 

 

if you are willing to risk/blow that much on a pic, you should consider joining the ANA and going to one of their grading classes (3 days, 2 weeks)

[Rawzone]

not easy to get a nice rare morgan i eu.

most ebay is only selling us

 

but thanks alot for your help with this one

[Kamillion]

i think not buying it was the right thing to do.

[Oldtrader3]

The "CC" bothers me and it looks cleaned to me.

Those are what is usually added which is probably some of the issue I had with it also
