    Wrong obverse (see *1 and LIBERTY). It's tough to state whether the correct reverse die was used because it's so beat up

    The word "COPY" also appears to have been scraped off the reverse.

    Now this is the type of an active auction that should be posted to warn others

    I had reported this on Saturday, the ebay watchdogs must have had the weekend off. This is an 1806 O-109 pointed 6 no stem, with the 6 tooled off and replaced with a 2.

    Unfortunately these are becoming common on eBay, these two were reported in time and the listings were removed Two fake 1802 halves they were made from the same cast die variety. The Chinese will sell these with "copy" or "replica" photoshopped on the coin, and these fakes are now used to make the counterfeit 1802's. The reverse stars are larger, and the 2 is not in the same position as a geniune 1802 half dollar.

    Can this still be reported after the auction has ended? Can the buyer be contacted?

    Ebay will still take it down when they get to it, even if it is ended. But if the buyer has paid, it's too late.

    I have competed many transactions before the auction was taken down back when pcgs was taken down modern auctions for having Qty 3 with only one set of pictures. --Jerry
