I uploaded the video to YouTube To show what I have
https://youtube.com/shorts/pzXLSebxTjc?feature=share
Does not stick to magnet Like a steel penny
And weighs 3.08
I was told it was found in a coin jar, I took the risk knowing high probability of fake.
Will take it to NGC, However, I would love some opinions here before I spend more money on it.
Thanks

Can’t tell much from the video. Just posting a still picture of the whole coin on both sides would be much easier to see the coin. The magnification and the movement in the video aren’t really useful.

Welcome to the forums!
Chances are it’s a fake but watching your video made me feel a bit too motion sick to work through it piece by piece. Maybe just post a single high quality photo of both sides?

I can see at least 3 different signs that make me call it a modern Chinese counterfeit.
Fake.
I’d love to know more. What makes you say that, what are those signs ?
Thanks
lol sorry about that.
And thanks for checking
Added a few images
Looks like a counterfeit to me.
@noam46 Your coin is unquestionably fake. File an SNAD claim on eBay ASAP so that you can get your money back. State that the coin is a counterfeit as the reason for the return.

Can you help me learn what you looked at to learn this ?
One sign is that the coin has the classic missing detail without being worn look of a counterfeit, especially on the reverse. The poorly defined and uneven rims are another sign. The purchase price that you paid for it on eBay is another sign. That is was sold uncertified is another sign.
Thanks for the advice
Can you please tell me what you looked at to learn this ?
See my comment from 12:32PM.
The rip-off prices on the sellers' other coins should have also been a red flag.

One look at that photo, and there is only one conclusion, BAD.
Good comments from @IkesT (& others).
And this: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Bad to the bone.
It is considered poor form to tell counterfeiters how to make products that are more misleading.
I realize others have told you, but this is absolutely and obviously a counterfeit and it has all the hallmarks of a modern counterfeit just off the dies and perhaps from Asia.

Do you see what appears to be a die chip on the left wheat ear? This is a classic diagnostic reverse that is used on counterfeits of many different dates.
