The first one especially so, because it calls the piece a "coin."

I don't think so as the "Private Mint" notation is enough for me. However, I can see where confusion might arise and can support @KSorbo 's idea of using something like "Modern Private Mint Fantasy" (would be better if we knew a date so it could be "2004 Private Mint Fantasy" since "modern" can be a bit vague).
Perplexing until you look at the piece and say, "Blech," then it doesn't matter.
It probably would be best had the label said it was a reproduction, even if not a very good one, rather than "Private Mint," and maybe also put the date in quotes or included the actual date of manufacture. At least it has a COPY stamp. There were "Morgan-Barber" designs, and this one seems to approximate J-1615.

Is labeling of a holder by a third part subject to the HPA? The item is stamped with COPY, which seems to meet the HPA requirement.
Sorry, I missed that. That makes it fully compliant.

A term like “modern fantasy strike” would go a long ways.
I don’t know, it says private mint.
to the OP's question, no.

Does not look deceptive to me...... Cheers, RickO
I don't think the label states it's a coin. The seller calls it a coin, but not the TPG label.

All his descriptions are basically the same, regardless of whether they're coins or medals. Besides, it's listed in the "Exonumia>Medals" category.
I vote "Nothing to see here."
Not deceptive but clarity would be better if the TPG put the date in parentheses and/or added some additional information.
