Counterfeit 78 CC Morgan

This one has a nice giveaway, the reverse is of 79, which doesnt exist on genuine 78.
Also the reverse has the distinctive hit on the upper left breast which is indicative of a fake.
Could we get some reports to take this down? And can someone post a picture for future education?

    The counterfeiters added one more touch, an edge bump. Now why would they do that? "The better to deceive you, my dear!" Why else would a counterfeit have a manufactured edge bump?

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.
