Did I almost sell a counterfeit?

Here is a link to a coin I had listed on ebay. For the date the silver content should be .8.... and instead its .653. Also the mint mark atop of the wreath did not come into use until 1921.

So from the images provided what do you make of this piece?

I have one just like it. Mine is an 1908. If you look at it with a loop(I can actually see on yours) you will see that it is a cast copy. The extra bubbles of metal and pit marks stand out as a casting. I have no idea what metal it is cast from however. Neither date is very rare so I don't know why they cast one.

Not an expert....but I would say it's a fake.

Well thats not what I wanted to hear. Had a fellow ebay seller message me with questions on his which made me question mine.
