Cant put my finger on it but the look feels a bit off, mainly the toning. However I was wondering if more experienced members could look and chime in, and educate us on what they see and dont see?
FWIW the other coins posted by this seller appear genuine, so I dont think this is a malicious seller.

Fake. The hair detail and eagle’s feathers are the easiest tells.
looks bad, as soon as I see that artificial antique look I don't even bother look at the details

Fake, something with that much detail must has luster, plus the hair looks like a '21.

Wrong reverse; uses the reverse for many common CC fakes including the 1881-CC fakes from around 2018.
Reported a similar 1885-CC in my group this morning...
The seller you posted also has a bad '85-CC:

Every collector should know this is a fake in about 3 seconds.
If you don't, I'd recommend only buying slabbed coins (and even that won't guarantee authentic coins 100% of the time!!)
