Possibilities:
1. Seller’s account hacked (it’s happened before).
2. The coin is real, it’s just the photography is off
3. The seller’s clueless
@Lostintranslation... Welcome aboard. It is a novelty item, not a coin... the seller is scamming... either intentionally or unintentionally... but being in the U.S., and with 465 feedback, I would say it is intentional. Cheers, RickO

I offered $10 but it was automatically declined.
That was too much. He should have taken it.
If you would like a nice big 1877 Indian Cent, I have something similar.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. 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. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
Back in the late 70s a local bank used to sell what they called "coin coasters", which were 3 inch diameter cast metal replicas like this one scam boy is trying to sell. 09SVDB, 13-S Buff, 16-D dime, 1877 Indian, 1916 Standing Lib quarter, etc. They were lousy coasters but fun display items.

He wants $1,100 for a coaster. That’s all I am seeing.
But he’s not advertising it as a coaster.
"Am I missing something here?"
What you are missing was lost in translation.
If someone mistakes that for a quarter, well, the fool and his money saying applies.
Zero feedback as a seller. This is his first selling rodeo.

i offered a dollar and was declined…sent him a nasty gram
It's an oversized novelty medal not a coaster.
Number 2 is not a possibility.
How could you guys miss the obvious explanation? He just has really tiny hands.

He represents it as being certified by the US Mint. I bet not.
I knew it would happen.
I don't think it is authentic. Something seems off, but I cannot put my hand... I mean finger on it. lol
