  I am virtually certain (as in 99+%) that it is a counterfeit - sorry.
  
  Edited to add: It is too mushy, strike-wise and the surfaces are too uniform in appearance -there should be more transition in texture/finish from the devices to the fields.

  I have a similar fake 1846 that was given to me a few years ago from a friend. It came out of a coin dealer's estate who liked to collect counterfeits. The date looks odd to me on this one as well.
  
  If you want to pay the price of a real one, I'll sell you my counterfeit as well.

  "Derek", if you think that coin is genuine, you'd best study up so that you can continue to pretend to be a coin dealer. Many such counterfeits of various dates can be found on Ebay from time to time.

  Nice new icon, ER - might not pass the test of time (YN's and all)
  
  I've got a few of these, straight from Beijing. However, I can get bags full if anyone is interested

  Would sell it raw and price it at $300. The small shows are a good venue for nice collector coins.

  Hmmm...maybe you just found Derek's ebay ID and auction

  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
