Looks genuine, just had a lot of work done on it. Too bad it's not an auction, would be interesting to see what it goes for. It's been cleaned too  Edited by edweather

the 5's in the date look wrong.
On the examples I looked at, the fives have a leaner curve at the bottom ending with a smallish ball. The balls on this one are blob-ish.

And I see what I believe is evidence of abrasive cleaning on the obverse.

With 8 watchers, some sucker is going to make the worst purchase of their numismatic journey so far...

I think it's worth at least $200, maybe I'll make an offer :-)

I think you all are seeing exactly what I'm seeing. This appears to be a holed/plugged/repaired coin.

Agree. And my guess is that the seller knows what they've got, hence the only description being "Actual Coin You Will Get"

Before looking at the comments or comparing images, my first impression is bad 5's and bad F in HALF.
A pretty good counterfeit though.
