Counterfeit Detection: 2000-P American Silver Eagle

Ha, ha: Solved! It was the plastic cointainer giving the appearance of a second lip. Whew.

Strange, on my view, that they were honest with the pictures in the listing. To be honest, I'd be much more concerned about someone who uses pictures of an actual American Silver Eagle but sends me this instead.

Have you ever seen a coin holder that looked like that?

Also:
1. The field seems to be discontinuous around the inner rim, almost like a two-metal coin (which the ASE is not).
2. The font on the reverse is also incorrect. There is serif on the edges of the A, E, and R on this coin--whereas there is not on a legitimate one.

I'll remove it.

Oh, sorry for taking a while to check back. The seller actually sent me photos of the coin without the holder--perfectly fine--and the holder halves were beside the coin, showing the rim.

Sorry to cause any kerfuffle.

Addendum: Not sure I can post, but it's been relisted.

Here's the pic he sent me last week

Hi folks, ebay seller of the purported "counterfeit" walking liberty here. As dajones said, the apparent rim on the reverse was just an artifact of the plastic case that I did not notice until he pointed it out to me. Here are photos of the coin without the case and with and without flash. I am certain the coin is genuine as I received it as a gift in 1995 and it has begun to tarnish along the rim since then as a genuine silver coin would. I'm glad dajones directed me to this thread as ebay did not give me any explanation as to why they believed my item was counterfeit and the listing was removed. Happy to set the record straight.
