Auction Fever at work...

Lookie Here.

Now let me be the first to say, this is one ugly holed coin. I've purchased examples of this date, with Fine details, without the unfinished Masonic symbol carved in the front for under what the bidding it at now. Besides the obvious, and the fact that the auction states it is a flowing hair dollar when it's a bust dollar, can anyone spot what's 'wrong' with this coin?

Altered date?

I'm not paying $510 for it. I bid $205 at the beginning of the auction, that was my max. I have a holed 1797 with Fine Details that looks infinately better that I paid $350 for.

Dang. I'm looking at Coin Facts, I'm looking at Breen...it's definitely Bolender-3 but I can't see what else is wrong with the coin (other than the obvious). The date isn't altered because 1797 was the only date with a 10+6 stars obverse. Still looking...besides that they call something with a Masonic symbol a "love token"...
