Actually, I would buy it, because it is an interesting fake.
I have an extensive 'black', collection for my own education.

What are the letters on Rev?

Does it say "Coca Cola" on it

I'm sure it's a fake.

Where is it being sold and for how much?

I can't jump to conclusions, but it is highly unlikely that it is real. However, there seems to be over a dozen trial strikes unaccounted for. If it is real, the Secret Service will be taking posession of it shortly.

@John1

Might just be me on my phone but I'm being told that's a bad link.

Edit: Wait. Never mind. Looks like a subscription is needed.

Good yarn. So what's the asking price, anyway?

The coin next to the cent is a fake Draped Bust coin. I would run from this deal. It is most likely fake.

The single specimen in private hands is likely worth millions.

You can get one just like this online for around 2.00 from the Chinese fakers.

Here's how to tell if it's potentially real -

Is the asking price over one million dollars? Why would the seller sell it to you for under that? Especially one that provides pictures with other coins....apparently he knows something about coins. 100% SCAM

.. I think you are right Thad, my estimates tell me somewhere in the 500% range.
