Was looking at this coin - any chance it is one of the original struck, or of the 500 restrikes -> or is it just bogus?

    The obverse appears to be fairly crude and unlike any genuine 1861-O obverse........ Even the Scott restrikes used genuine 1861 half dollars as their host....... Sorry, its BOGUS
