You forgot to mention the fake VDB

<< <i>I don't believe that this is a real example. S looks off and the dot after the D is not centered.
bob
The position of the dot after the D is much like it is on a non-S VDB, isn't it? And the S does look wrong.
My guess is it's an added mintmark.

I would use it as a teaching tool.Only one of these would be needed for that purpose though.

I think the whole coin is fake, not just the mintmark.
Maybe they put "COPY" on the edge so that collectors aren't fooled by it.
I would have "COPY" engraved on the edge of my specimen that I pay $1 for.

<< <i>The whole coin is fake.It's a die struck Chinese counterfeit of mediocre quality,in my opinion.Mediocre mostly because it doesn't have "COPY" stamped on it.Of course,I haven't seen the edge.

Can't put copy on the edge of a coin and still meet the requirements of the Hobby Protection Act. It must
be on the face of the coin (front or back but not edge).

bob
I have "COPY" put on my piece so that it still doesn't comply with the requirements you mention.I don't want to ruin a perfectly good example of counterfeit by putting "COPY" in a prominent place.
"FAKE" might be a better word to use than "COPY."

If the grading service were to slab pieces such as this,the only designation it should receive is "Counterfeit."
I can have one of these for $1.89 but have to buy ten?

<< <i>I thought about trying to assign a grade to it but then realized that it doesn't deserve a grade since it's not a US Mint product.Grades should be for authentic coins,in my opinion.It's not even legitimate to call the piece that is the subject of this thread a coin.

Not to be a nit picker, but the TPG's won't say "counterfeit" for legal reasons, according to DW. Instead it would get "questionable authenticity" or, at best, one of these.
