Good information for newer stackers...I just ordered a magnet on eBay and will probably buy a scale eventually ...on eBay i go with m. Barr coins a few others including the executive coin company... thanks for the video!!!

Extremely enjoyed your presentation. Was the knowledge of the coin and a "working man" way of attempting a potential purchase
-
I am a bit curious as to why you didn't mention using a cell phone app to test the "ping" of a coin like the Morgan's you are showing. For those of us with hearing loss those apps are invaluable. That said, a good video.
-
The problem with not getting the toned coins is that nowadays a lot of collectors find them to be attractive and are even pay high prices for them too.
-
Ebay = triple protection (Ebay, PayPal, credit card). Applies to shipping, receiving the correct item, it being authentic/legit, and as described/pictured.
-
Even when weight and diameter are correct and the coins look pretty good I have seen counterfeits that are thicker made from who knows what metal.
-
Knew some of these tactics but always nice to see positive informative silver videos without fluff or doomer spins.
-
I learned a lot. Thanks!

Anyone skilled w/Morgans...will do well as a BUYER on Ebay. Thank you.

I see some pretty sad stories that come into the LCS. To me, if you are a serious stacker, you are spending some serious cash. A Sigma Metalytics is part of being a stacker. You may laugh, however, I cannot withstand shenanigans. I did buy fake silver coins from eBay. I put the coin on the Sigma and sent a photo of the disappointment. The refund was rapid. Sometimes slabbed coins do not line up as well, PCGS and NGC have been very kind and verified the coins that I purchased from LCS.

I have one that passes weight, size, ping, edge, and even sigma that is counterfeit. I tested with an XRF yet.

How to weigh a 1878-cc Morgan in a slab

I bought a 1895 O from my son's pawn store that he bought from a guy that was the right weight but i took it to a silver and gold and coin store that turned out to be a fake. I lost $400 on that fake coin
-
I'm like 7 minutes into it....all I can think is, please just ping it..... please.
-
I had to many bad experiences with ebay

Gonna be picky here. Its "tell- tale" not "tall tell". As in " The tell-tale heart" by Edgar Allen Poe. Sorry I'm nick picking you, but it was driving me nuts.
-
Good video. Thank you. I agree...Ebay can be a very excellent place to acquire Ag US coins. A big part of the success: the individuals' skill level.

Your a novice for sure! Sigma verifier takes all the guess work out of it!

It’s never “dumb” to do whatever you can to verify expensive metals. Just lost a sub. Most people don’t appreciate being called dumb
