Pics aren't great. Assuming it's real, it's been harshly cleaned. I wouldn't buy it even if real.
Imported from overseas?

No I would not consider purchasing it.
It’s a counterfeit But I think you already know that.
I do, but unfortunately there are many who do not. Bids were rolling in and some I showed in another forum thought it looked like a match for a genuine one.
It looks like something from China to me, without the usual fake toning.
It would fit nicely next to the large cent:

Looks like the 1 - 81 - 1 date variety

✓ Everyman Mint State Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1958)
✓ Morgan Dollar GSA Hoard (1878 – 1891)
Counterfeit. Letter positions vs wreath elements do not all line up correctly for S-287, and it sure as shoot not an S-286.
What's interesting is that a lot of it is close.

Maybe if I wanted one for a counterfeit collection. Other than that no way.

Here’s my S-287 for comparison 🤓
I find the fastest way to authenticate the Sheldon series is to go ahead and try to attribute it.

Renomed, your coin would go nicely in my set - even if it would probably break the bank. Very nice coin!
I knew it would happen.
