The 1872 is too dark to see on my ancient monitor (which is too dark despite having the brightness maxed out)... but strongly suspect.
Edit: let me amend that, since I can't see either very well considering the poor pictures and my poor monitor, so I'll just say the obverse of the 1845 throws up some red flags to me and leave it at that. I do not know for sure because of the aforementioned challenges.

Exactly. That was the main thing that triggered my red flags.
It just looks wrong.

It's still good to educate the other 25%.
And sadly given my experience with many collectors I've met at the clubs over the years, I think that your 75% estimate is high. It might be 75% or more among the people who post on this board, but spread over the entire collector population, you would surprised at how little many collectors know about 19th century U.S. coins.

So this is probably fake too...wonder if the car's fake too.
