  I'd say run from it, date looks way off and reverse rim denticles are just the first things I spotted - edited to add-and I have been drinking tonight

  There's a 95% chance CAC would make the right call.

  The eBay seller lists this as a half dollar!

  Very crude fake probably brought back from China.

  It's not even close. If this is what fakes always looked like, they wouldn't be so dangerous.

  Genuine 1844 SL dollars are interesting in that the are 4 separate lines in each of "bales" or vertical devices in Ms. Liberty's shield, as opposed to the 3 lines found in every other dated SL dollar.
