I've never seen anything remotely look like this in the US Mint's inventory, but then again I've not seen everything.

Base metal fake from Asia. ALL of this seller's US coins are FAKE.

But what about the reverse design...did the US have a coin resemble this one?


edit: sp, add design to title

Sure the designs are real, one of them was created by the US mint in the 1870's, and the other was created by a private US firm creating silver rounds in the 1970's. Now someone in Thailand has put them together to make a fake piece that claims to be silver but isn't. So to summerize, designs real, "coin" fake.
