The 5 in the date is wrong and the coin just doesn't "look" right

The shape of the date is definitely wrong. Probably a Chinese counterfeit.

It also has a very far date. A quick look through VAM doesn't show up any reasonably alterable very far dates, so I'm guessing counterfeit as well.

Chinese counterfeit for sure. Notified ebay of same.

Never mind that the PayPal logo is displayed in the auction.

Wouldn't someone be required to take a PayPal payment according to the ToS if it appears as an option on their auctions? If they don't want to take it, jump through the hoops to stop displaying the logo.

He told me he's taking the auction down. Looking at other coins he's sold in the past, I think he's on the up-and-up.
