0 feedback and several unlikely authentic items. Ebay item of course. Wish it were real.

It’s an “unreasonable facsimile” of the real thing. The design details are not quite right.
The reeded edge condemns it.
I believe that some of the restrikes of this variety have a reeded edge. This piece has the eagle flying level which is the mark of a restrike.
Still, the rest of the piece is bad.
No 👎
Amazing that the seller even shows the edge as reeded. Interesting, but then PCGS does list the edge as reeded and photo shows that it is not. This is certainly not my cup of tea, but love the design and besides price coin looked off.

I reported the listing to eBay and also messaged the seller that the coin was counterfeit. He replied and asked if I needed a discount.😵💫

I decided that as the seller made me an offer of $68 for this phony, I would make a counteroffer of $6.88 and did so. Probably, will not hear back.
