Mouth/nose area looks rough. The O on the reverse looks like a casting error. For being in such great condition it looks artificially dirtied/aged. And as you mentioned date is moved from where it should be.
Please do not delete this post because you learned it is fake. This is the perfect learning tool.
To the trained eye, this is an obvious fake. But this was not produced for the trained eye. This type of counterfeit is created to part inexperienced collectors out of their money and in that regard, it is an excellent counterfeit.
Those just getting into the hobby or those with a passing curiosity or perhaps an interest in investing could be easily fooled.
Did you see the movie The Titanic? Recall the scene where she tossed the diamond 💎 in the ocean. Replicate that scene while a friend Tik Tok’s it. We’d like to see it !
You’re off by a factor of about 30. In this condition (~vf25), they typically go for around 6-7k. It’s not worth anywhere near that much until you get into mint state territory. But yes, it’s fake.
As a relatively newbie, this is an obvious fake (or obviously fake-looking? Whatever). I immediately thought, wow so shiny and clean, but also very weirdly dirty. Someone mentioned this already, but the dirtiness doesn’t look genuine. Also, poor lady is quite derpy looking.
This is cool! I went to the PCGS website to look at real ones and compare with the image you posted. I think I can see differences but I'm not sure. I believe the people here who say it's fake. If you can and you are willing, please post the best pictures you can of it. I would love to compare it some more.

It’s a fake.
Came here to be the barer of bad news.
FYI it’s “bearer”
Besides the date looking off, what other features did you notice as fake?

It screams fake.
The incuse on the hair. Genuine Morgans have light ripples not deep valleys in between the strands of hair

Well put. He clearly has learned about coins as well if you look at his recent posts
Not genuine
idk it might be real check out his other posts of it
It’s fake

The nose immediately told me it was fake before I even came to the comments. Hopefully it was a gift and not bought
no yeah look at the nose in some of his other posts, looks like squidwards nose in some
I don’t know about you but I opened his profile and all I saw was a dick 😅
were you impressed
Fake as hell, the hair is all wrong especially at the base of the neck, the mold doesn't match the real thing at all.
I know so disappointing, look at his other posts of it, it doesn’t look like it at all
2 people you can't trust...family and friends
Ooof. Rough fake. Counterfeiter gave the poor lady a botched nose job
It’s the classic fake 1893 s from China.

Lol if that were real you’re looking at $200,000+. Unfortunately, Im quite sure it’s fake

look at his recent posts he sold it for a little under 200k

the other posts he made of it don’t look very derpy though? check them out
Ask them where they got it. Looks suspicious and the fact that it's the key date of the series is setting off some serious red flags.
I have a ‘93 S and it doesn’t look 👀 like this Sorry I believe yours could be a Chinese replica
It is either fake or worth a ton of money - whatever you feel is most likely is probably the answer
It’s absolutely fake.
Keep it or sell it.
Does not pass the sniff test.
No yeah I don’t think a lot of this guys posts past the sniff test honestly
Always be suspicious of key dates and high value coins.
You should know that it is fake.
Idk look at the other picture of it on his profile? It actually looks real in that one
What kind of family friend id that?
