Copy Coin

I’m looking at an auction lot that has 6 coins in it. 5 of them are labeled as copies but the 5th doesn’t state if it is or not. Thoughts on this 1846?

    I don't like the look of it, but more importantly it comes with other fakes and the holder is labeled "dollar token ".

    It is not possible to accurately evaluate the subject from those pictures. However, as @JBK has said, it is labeled as a token, so likely fake....Cheers, RickO

    Regardless of what other coins are in the lot or the less-than-ideal images, the coin is clearly a counterfeit.

    It is labeled a "token". That indicates it is a copy.

    Unless you are an expert in counterfeit detection you should avoid all raw Seated Dollars.

    All glory is fleeting.
