Am I being too old, crusty and cogidy?

Here is the auction: ebay.com/itm/1846-Liberty-Seated-One-Dollar-coin-CC-In-God-We-Trust-the-trust-/262702716152?
My note to seller:
You have no idea what you have, do you? Not only is this rare it is one of a kind. These dollars have been rumored to exist for many years but nobody ever thought that one would actually show up. If I had $20k I'd jump on it as it is probably a quarter million dollar coin once it's graded by PCGS or NGC.
It was rumored that the whole mintage somehow got shipped to Mexico as payment to settle a border dispute. This was never confirmed. But, now that I see one I guess the rumor was accurate. Where did you get yours, if I might ask? Any chance it came from Mexico? I'll let a good friend of mine know about this specimen...hope soon.
good luck,
bob @ Greatbasin Coins

I did have a conversation (email exchange) and he's sending to PCGS!!
Fun to be old.
bob:)
I want one!
Kind of, but not old and stodgy, more like concerned and frustrated. I totally get it.
It looked counterfeit to me. But how many of those coins have I held ... none. Eh.

The ones minted at the U.S. Mint are worth a bunch , but the ones minted in China not so much LOL
Ohhhh, shiny.
FYI: Carson City did not exist until the 1860's. The CC mint opened in 1870.
Just for those that do not collect CC coinage.

Looks like a cast counterfeit to me.
