A vice job is a coin that has been squeezed or hammered against another coin. This imparts an incuse, mirror-image impression of the other coin. Vice jobs should never be mistaken for true Mint errors, yet people are still getting fooled by them.
A current vice job example from eBay:

Nice spelling in that note..."jewlery" "differnt"
Does "RBI Coins and Jewelry" even exist (I haven't tried looking for it).
If it is a "legit" business, it is very scummy
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Seller has a knack for finding them.
Kinda reminds of me an advertisement " Antiques made daily".

Kinda like another TPG “business plan” we saw recently.
Interesting that there is no business name, address, or phone number on the letter of authenticity. Highly suspect.
Do you really need to look that deep into it when the concussion is not only intentionally vague but bogus too? Even if it is a real place it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
That bogus letter makes it not just a "vice job", but rather a "Miami Vice Job".
A few thoughts:
and lastly.... no scam sale would be complete without photos of DIRTY FINGERNAILS!!!!!!
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
What a joke. Fall for that 11 cent piece carp maybe one deserves to be taken.

You were fooled for many months by a fake 1909-S VDB cent, long after everyone told you it was fake. I guess you still haven't learned your lesson. Perhaps if you had received neither a replacement or refund for that coin, you'd be more sympathetic to others in the same situation.
As for the carp, you are truly the King of Carp on this Forum.
@IkesT I agree we should consider your nominee but I really think we need to put our heads together and get a consensus here.
