  My instinct tells me this was intentional damaged. The blank planchet part looks a lot thinner. I am interest on how the experts identify the authenticity. Please educate me. Thanks.

  I do not know these well, why are you sure it is fake? And why take us to the UK ebay site?

  Looks real. Why would anyone get all out of sorts for suggesting pcgs authenticate this?

  It looks okay to me. There are no characteristics signaling otherwise.

  But, being dateless in this condition, it isn't worth anything near the asking price IMO.

  It looks fake to me... the Indian appears to be raised too high, the piece looks too round to be an off center... pictures are not great, so could be just misleading... I would not even consider it. Cheers, RickO

  Terrible pictures, but don't see anything in them that condemns it.

  It would be nice to have a weight, but I think it's good. The strike characteristics, and the planchet color and laminations, appear correct for the period.

  I don't see anything screaming fake. Of course as we all would say... need to see it in hand.

  Sure like adding photos and lowering the price.

  I suspect it is authentic, but looks damaged in minting process.
