The Coin Community Forum is a website that's much valued by collectors and dealers alike. This past week an astute CCF member spotted a counterfeit 1893-S Morgan $1 in an apparently counterfeit PCGS slab that was posted for sale on eBay. An online discussion of the item ensued, and multiple reports were filed. Bids exceeded $2,000 before the item was pulled by eBay.

Sadly, many fake numismatic items continue to be sold on this venue. One way that buyers can exercise due diligence in their online purchases is to participate in a forum like the CCF or CoinTalk. These forums are FREE!

Anyone wishing to to view the discussion can visit the CCF at the link below.

Thanks. Anything people make, other people can fake. Be careful out there in the marketplace! -Editor
