    The date is hilarious, especially the "2".

    When I said I wanted my date to go on a diet this is not what I meant.

    This seller is quite the purveyor of fake coinage. He needs to be banned. Permanently.

    It's missing the telltale bend in the ribbon, which I learned about here.

    The “s” in CENTS looks like a backwards 2.

    Even if the coin was not a fake there is too much wear on the surfaces to garner a grade of beyond VFEF.

    Is there more to the story? Just getting it out of circulation? Fake coin collection? Cheers, RickO

    THAT DATE

    seriously, it looks hand-engraved

    another scenario of a blank master die/hub making many working dies.
