    Look at the reverse and you will see the deep arches in the N in united.
    It is a fake in my opinion.

    I’m comfortable saying it’s bogus. The serifs on the mintmark aren’t parallel, and the N in CENTS isn’t the shallow N.

    Totally a fake

    Yep, the N gives it away.

    The whole coin is bad.

    Not a coin to buy raw.

    It also has the lump on the inside of the left ear. Avoid the lump and the deeply arched N.

    The shape of the "S' is totally wrong! Someone please explain the "N". I don't know that one. Thanks.

    Most of the coins he sold are fake. And he has multiples of each.

    .
    .
    Also a fake that got 46 bids and sold for $2231.40 and he has more of them.
    eBay does not care because they make a lot of money by allowing them to be sold.

    If they pay with a credit card, they can call their credit card company and request that they do a charge-back. The seller or eBay can eat the cost of the refund for this very expensive fake coin.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. Spend over $2K for a piece of crap like this you deserve to be taken.

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
