another counterfeit 1804 Bust dollar

Seller admits that its a counterfeit. has the typical cast/poured look to it. Poor details and the strike around the rims are deformed.
Could we get some reports and can somebody post a pic for future reference and education?

    I am not going to report it, as I do not know the rules or laws on selling counterfeits in Australia. Discloser may be good enough.

    These aren't even worth calling out. There are so many of these souvenir coins. They've been sold in Asia for 50 years and they aren't even designed to fool anyone.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.
