Poorly formed fonts all over this coin,
Wrong font in the "N" in UNITED,
The period following the "V" in the designer's initials is to low to the rim,
The center bar of the "B" in the designer's initials isn't slanted enough,
Other problems?

    As usual, blurry photos of valuable coin mean fake. Only diagnostic I can be sure of is lack of shallow N. So I agree, counterfeit.

    Do y'all think its a transfer die counterfeit? The mintmarks appears to be in one of the 4 correct positions, but the lettering looks mushy.

    I reported it also. Hope it is removed before someone bids.

    If so its a bad job, look at the slop in the letters that make up LIBERTY, but I do see your point about location of details. I think clearer pictures would shade more light on the overall font style us in the mint mark.

    Listing is gone now... Also, looks like the counterfeit bump on the left wheat stalk is present in the OP picture. Cheers, RickO

    I did notice that, but it was so small, and such a blurred image I just didn't mention it, you've got a good eye though ;)

    I shut down my browser, reopened, directed it to this thread, ran the link in the OP and this is what came up!
    I've never seen this happen before, I'm not sure what's going on with this listing!
    Here is the screen shot of the listing that I just grabbed a minute ago!
