Seems like that is the photo of the original slabbed coin and this seller is selling counterfeit coins in counterfeit slabs with the same PCGS cert.

Looking at it again I don't think even the picture is the genuine either.

Not really but would been nice if he mentioned it ,, 

[Jester]

NCS could most likely take care of that spot for you.  If you really want the coin for your collection, it may be worth a few bones to have them look at it.  I know @Numistacker has had good luck with NCS taking care of red spots on at least one of his sovereigns.  Just a thought.

Nice coin - and looks like a real MS65 - trust me, I am an expert now??! 

Thanks to everyone for all the advice and detective work on my miserable fail on the 1865 Morgan (that clearly isn't...!). I have certainly learned another lesson the hard way. I was genuinely excited to get an 1893 and the 65 was a bonus, but turned out to be a nightmare! I was reassured when I tracked down the verification , but without a PCGS picture I was never 100% sure.  

What a disreputable bunch of people there are out there - selling fakes (or at best, below par genuine coins) in fake slabs.  I will work to get my money back, as it was "only" £151, but still - it's money I could have spent elsewhere. Was not from a Chinese site.  I am surprised that the Phillie 1893 is being selected for this - as it's the 1893 S that has the real collectors value. Makes me want to focus on either gold, or modern silver / Pd / Pt instead of risking tracking down genuine old silver coins.

Got my first bit of gold today with my gs.be order. 1/10th britannia. Now i have finished off my silver needs for this year until 18's are released, gonna start a wee gold stack to fill the time  Should i keep it in the mint pack are put it into a capsule? Does it even matter?

Also picked up 1 of those big ben coins and mix of a few others. Not sure how that series will pan out, should be a nice. I only got the 1 cause im not paying 24 euro for a coin that will milk up.

@Lindeman, if it would help you bounce back, I've got a 2014 5 oz Proof Libertad in its original capsule I'd sell you.  Only 800 minted that year.  You said you had a thing for Libertads...you know you wanna.

Oh dear.........

This is slightly off putting for someone such as myself trying to get into the old silver coins I didn't know the fakes were that good is there any telltale signs we can look out for? Are they magnetic? Your knowledge would be very much appreciated!

I have a new silver collecting favourite! Quite like these old us coins.

Sorry for the repost but I noticed a few likes on my original post is this coin a good un? Would it be worth grading at some point? Like to receive some feedback from a knowledgeable member

[MikeSol]

A fake 90% Silver Morgan for reference.

The antique looks by far the best imo, panda does look pissed though.

When you hear the words alibaba, well, they are basically the fake capital on the internet. The problem being is that Lindeman' coin was already in a holder, the grade of MS65 doesn't match the coin, it's far to worn, if you take a look at the OBV of the coin you have posted again and then look at the one from Lindeman then you'll see the difference.

If it's any consolation, a lot of fakes are really really good, so if you intend to collect these i'd be doing a lot of reading up on how to spot them, a majority of fakes are of rarer years because they can bring more money from the unwitting buyer. Your coin would look a good candidate for grading and if in MS grade NGC price guide would be between $65 and $95 so you have to ask yourself if the outlay is worth the return.......

Thanks shortstack68 I don't go near alibaba......only for reference! But I do purchase slot from eBay I've ordered a book on junk silver so hopefully that'll help and will do more research.

My first delivery of 10oz Queen's Beasts arrived this morning, very pleased with these. I've posted a thread about my experience of ordering these and delivery from my new dealer: http://thesilverforum.com/topic/9527-my-new-supplier-cheapest-10oz-qbs-silver-in-europe/#comment-122825 if anyone is interested. Got them for Euro2 cheaper (each) than goldsilver.be
