It's been altered, a real 'far 6' has a rotation on the 6 to the left, you can see this one is straight and can also see, where it has been cut.

Also...look at the bottom edge of the leaf (right-side leaf, that's above the 6)

It's perfectly straight!!

It's obviously been filed away.

This coin is currently on ebay and some ignorant bidder is going to get burned.

I've contacted the seller, but he will not change his auction.

He says "I provide good pictures and I have a return policy" (so that's about it).

In other words "If I can suck somebody in and they won't return it, I'm good to go...". Idiot.

Could you post the link to the ebay auction, or post the final price. I am just curious to see what this coin goes for now after reading this thread.

Wow that bites. I paid much less for my 26' far and it is legitimately a far 6. I didn't notice how straight the bottom edge of that leaf was until doubleeagle pointed it out but now I can't believe I missed that when first looking at the pictures.

The auction abruptly ended in the final few hours.

I can't find it in the 'completed items' section, so I don't think the seller ended it.

I'm thinking ebay shut it down, but it's only a guess.
