I Think that this is not an every day Chinese counterfeit, but is actually a contemporary counterfeit. What do you think? While it may have some value as a contemporary counterfeit, it still cannot be sold on ebay.

I can see why it may look contemporary, but I suspect modern. Note that the "187" of the date looks well, but the "4" is clearly misshaped and was changed in the die, something often done in Chinese counterfeits.

Yep... Fake... but likely not contemporary... Cheers, RickO
Yesterday, I contacted the seller, who said he’d already heard from someone else. To his credit, he ended the listing as he indicated he would.
