I didn't realize that they made U.S. coins in China !

, they are
supposed to be made by the U.S. Mint, in the U.S.
- Or perhaps this one
was made in China.

(just kiddin')
With a date of 1906, (numismatically) there is no attempt to deceive, except for those who are too lazy to check, or are too gullible,
therefore still legal, within
ebay rules.
Strange looking "O" Probably used an original coin to set up high pressure or centrifugal cast molds.
No radial mint luster, and design detail not sharp, despite showing no signs of wear.
Check for weight, magnetism, comparative ring pitch against a known genuine example.
A problem with
ebay:- can't do these checks in hand before submitting a bid, when it comes to numismatic fakes.
Helps to explain why so many fakes are attempted to be sold in this way.
