1861 seated dime contemporary fake how do i ebay it ?

i have a well known phony 1861 dime, i would like to unload it to someone who would appreciate it for what it is. its not pretty, but its also very tough to find ! just wondering how i should list it to avoid problems with ebay. i wouldnt be comfortable calling it a replica, or a copy, a contemporary counterfeit is in a different category all by itself. any suggestions ?

    Try selling it on the BST here or at the Bust forum or at the Seated forum as a C.C., not sure if I'd go with eBay on this one. If it's worth a considerable amount of money maybe think of consigning it to D. Osburn or B. Greer or G. Bruder.

    I purchased a counterfeit seated quarter 1856. They listed it as privately minted. here is a link to the auction.

    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    I have an example of this one.
    I paid $25 for it. I got it and from Terry Searcy, a Yupper and fellow Seated collector.
    List it on Ebay as a contemporary copy.
