It has the "Look" of the counterfeits out of China, plus the reverse is all wrong. Link to auction.
If anyone cares to report it, here's the Link to do so.

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

False.

I don't see them - could you provide a link? Thanks.
<< <i>Is that a contemporary fake? >>
No. It is a modern Chinese-made fake.

<< <i>Dear lostthouhgts,
I just wanted to let you know that this coin is a counterfeit. There have been a few really good ones like this one on ebay in the past few months, sorry it came into your possession. Other people who specialize in half dimes like I do may also notify you. I suggest you weigh it to confirm. Real bust half dimes should weigh 1.35 grams. Your coin likely weighs less than 1.2 grams, possibly right at 1.18 grams, what the last fake a half dime specialist found for a coin he purchased. The coin is likely a cast counterfeit, but it is a good one. I hope you can get your money back from whomever you got the coin from. >>
