Unsure how I feel about the authenticity of this coin.
While the observe appears unc, the reverse does not, it appears to be worn but no indication of circulation as if struck that way. and the strike of the eagle on the reverse is super weak to boot. No pic of the edge either.
Seller is new, but has other coins listed, but most appears to be telejunk.
What do yall think of this coin? Is it authentic? or another fake?

Absolutely no good. It is a counterfeit. The off-center bust variety was only issued with the 1795 date. I saw this fake seven or eight years ago at a local club meeting. The buyer bragged that he had bought it for $200 on the Internet and really PO’d when I told him it was a counterfeit.
Greed can make you stupid. How many people sell coins with $8,000 or more for $200?

Yuck. A Chinese "fantasy" piece (a/k/a counterfeit).
There's a big difference between a counterfeit and a fantasy coin. They are not the same thing.

It has to be real if it’s on eBay.
