    It looks extremely fake to me....especially the date!!

    Yes, it has the classic hit on Liberty between the L and the I. It is a fake.

    The date on the eBay coin does not match the date on known 1856 Seated dollars, therefore the eBay coin is fake. You can look in the Heritage archives (as long as you have an ID there) to look at genuine coins to compare them with suspected counterfeits. This coin was fairly easy to distinguish.

    He calls it a seated dollar in the title and a trade dollar in the description........

    Same type of 1865 phony seen last week on the forum.
    Wonder where they are coming from?

    Just now sent seller a question.

    "This is a counterfeit and not a genuine US coin.
    Are you auctioning this as a replica?"

    by the looks of the name and the items for sale... I'd say someone is dumping the X's small collection.
