    Amazing how they let this type stuff run and delete legitimate listings sometimes

    Someone is not going to like the end results

    I would guess the weight , not the grade.

    My guess is 17.9 grams.

    The obverse is funky and a quarter way convincing. (It might fool you for 5 or 10 seconds.) The reverse is ridiculous. imageimage

    Great details on the Reverse. Look at the strike quality. image

    Besides reporting to Ebay I sent the seller a polite note and explained it was a fake.

    Her response to me: "How do you know it was made in China?"

    That response was hilarious to me! I could not stop spitting my coffee!

    Then I did respond: "Because 99% of modern fakes are made there" "Try to get your
    money back".


    She then ended the listing.

    So I can get a bit of education, can you guys that detected it was fake provide some specific things that helped you identify that? For me, the color didn't seem right, and the reverse wear didn't seem right. But other than that, it didn't scream fake to me. I'm not very familiar with this series though. Thanks for the help.
