Just a smidge.
Funny you should post it.
I was perusing Ebay earlier today, which I rarely do, and was surprised at the amount of "off" looking coins.
It is going to kill the hobby sooner or later.
Wow, that is really bad! Even I would be able to immediately tell that coin was fake. It's too bad they are getting good at faking holders as well. If they would have put a more realistic looking coin in there, it would fool a lot of people.
Just amazing how far these shysters will go.... I just get so discouraged with ebay, so far from what it was back in the late '90's early '00's... Cheers, RickO

At least they should pick a cert # that can’t easily be checked with an auction link provided.
Stupid scammers looking for even stupider buyers.

I didn't even know the mint produced anything with this composition:
.900 Silver electroplated (EP) a brass core.
Good thing he slipped that in there, or may have thought it was legit LOL!

I also reported it when I first saw it earlier in the day. I am surprised it is still up and running.

Here's the real one auctioned in 2010.
Lance.
Says copy on the wing.
It's not even the same type as the real coin
Also - someone should tell the crooks that it'd help if they made their phony labels on a printer with a full ink cartridge. Just sayin.....
