"1804 Class I Dollar"- what do you think the submitter was thinking?

Curious how PCGS arrived at the "attribution", not that it is counterfeit...

Probably the submitter entered that PCGS# for the variety on the submission form.
I’ll admit that if I knew nothing about coins, and somehow obtained a potentially valuable one (inheritance, found in a storage locker, etc), I would probably submit for authentication too. It’s a major score if the treasure turns out to be real.
It seems like every person at a coin show who does the meet the expert thing, where their “rare” coins are looked at by a grader or someone knowledgeable at one of the tpg services, inevitably has a fake 1943 copper cent, fake 1909 s vdb, fake 1916 d merc, fake 1877 Indian, etc.
The thing I don’t like about the auction above is the starting price. It really should be a $1 start no reserve, so there’s no trickery involved.
Oh and by adding fake/counterfeit to the title
Thank you @1madman ! I thought the "BB-304" interesting...
Anyone report it to eBay?

Of course...
I'd consider it inadvisable for PCGS to use the word "Original" on a "Counterfeit" bodybag. There should be no ambiguity that a scammer could exploit. There is nothing "original" about this fake.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
The label does not look like a real PCGS label.

It absolutely is. Running the cert. number also pulls up this "coin".
