Fake 1908 $2 1/2

Decent fake, probably would fool most. Obverse looked suspect to me, and the strong wing details on the reverse confirmed it. No 1908 has full feather details like this one.

    The seller is quoting a four digit PCGS number in the description... not sure what that is/means...just another deceptive practice I would surmise... Cheers, RickO
