Look at the bonnet on the back of Liberties head. If it is smooth with no folds even though it shows a PCGS grade of MS-64, it is a fake or counterfeit.
An important subject! I just got through watching a video on a Counterfeit that was 90% Silver and passed the Sigma test. The first thing I did with this video, before he brought it up, is go to PCGS Certificate Verification, put in the number and found out this was fake. Personally, for a Silver Dollar, I will only buy Graded, that has a verified number, and I put priority on a coin that has Tru-Vue. I study the difference between the unique graded coin, and the picture at the Grading service.
I started collecting in '58. There were very few fakes,but quite a # of altered. Worst culprits: 09s vdb,16d dime,42 over 41 dime,96s & 01s quarters,89cc,93s,28s 1$'s. I bought a decent looking ag 01s 25c back in about 1970.could not afford a higher grade. Finally sent it in to anacs,damn thing,had an added S.
On PCGS and NGC is there ever 2 exact coins with the name serial number. TEMU sells a lot of nice-looking fakes. Those are only good for making coin rings.
Great educational video. Question now is what do you do with the fake? I know it is not your property but as I understand you are not allowed to possess said counterfeit. I believe protocol is to call your local Fbi office and they will confiscate. Had a friend who collected alll sorts of counterfeits, did seminars and the FBI confiscated his collection. Was told they could appreciate his efforts but could not guarantee what would happen to them if they were left in his care.
I only buy coins that I can authenticate myself even in a holder. For new series that I don't know yet well I buy only from the most reputable dealers or instead, I buy the raw coin and work hard at home to authenticate (returning it back within the return window if its fake) and get them slabbed myself so that I know its legit.
Its so hard now ,i will only buy coins that have a picture to compare the slabbed coin to,pcgs true view with nfc chip or later ngc pictured ones ,+ run serial number in app(although that isnt a 100% cert as they are now copied+can run though test)only buy from a good dealer with alot of sales,a extra few £s or $s is worth the peace of mind in knowning its authentic without a doubt,wieght aswell of slabbed coin,just my opinion in what ive noticed,there is also alot of other tell tale signs with colour of writing if looked at closely.its got extermly hard these days to spot the fakes.good vid on staying safe.counterfeiting is ruining a good fun hobby.
Usually the fake coins inside the holder are poorly done. They don't match the grade assigned to it and most likely the Chinese counterfeiter has never seen a real coin and slab. They usually do assign a designation from 1849-1889 since those are years when the mint made gold dollar coins.
As soon as you started talking about the label font, I knew you were full of S. China's not too stupid to improve the labels. Effectively, slabs are dead in today’s counterfeit world.
@@stanleyclark923 I don’t understand? If it’s a real coin that’s been graded from the 2 big graders it will have a bar code and you can scan it with phone. I’m only ever seen one coin that wouldn’t scan. Buy from trusted dealers like Liberty in Longbeach and you want have to worry about fakes.
The whole coin market and grading system from PCGS etc is skewed. If you submit heavily and often and once they see you are willing to shell out $$$ for grading from what I assume is old ornery idiots at the top grading companies you realize the market is flawed. Low annual submissions vs someone that submits 100+ coins a year. If you brought a diamond to 10 pawn shops your $ value would be more consistent than the decrepit dust sitting down grading rested on "reputable" laurels at the main grading companies.
I had decent luck at the pawn shop 12 years ago with Morgans in slabs. They even turned out to be VAMs. $40ea back then, about $85ea today, because they are PCGS graded, they have doubled in price since I bought them. You have to make sure that the bottom right corner has a pcgs logo in the plastic slab itself. Those are genuine
Some Bible quotes and The Gospel - How to Get Saved KJV Romans 5:12 - Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 3:10,23-24 3:10- As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one 3:23-24 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: =]= -(How that Christ died - he shed his blood) Romans 3:25 Whom God hath sent forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remissions of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Hebrews 10:10 By the which we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all = = Once Saved Always Saved Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
The first issue should be the word Morgan on the fake slab they only put the word Morgan on slab if there was another silver dollar minted the same year like 1921 other then that it does not need be there in 1899 there was only the Morgan made no other silver dollar so that tell you rite of the rip it’s fake period no other point need to be made on that one
