Looks like a T1 observe/T1 reverse. The only concerning is the liberty banner on the front, I feel like maybe it should point more to the left. Sorry for the bad pics.. thanks!

With the poor pics and a bad reputation for fakes, I'd stay away if possible.

Thanks I was considering taking a chance for under $25 but I don't know much about the series. I got as far as verifying it was type 1 but it's hard to say anything for sure with bad pictures.

Looks a bit off, but it might be the pics only.

Looked at pics again, really off.

For sure, under $25 and NO CHOP MARKS, for sure stay away .....

Just a Tyoe Coin say in Fine 12 has a book value of $175 and to get a nice XF-AU you will pay over $250 with a PCGS Price Guide Value of $300 in XF-40 .....

$25 .... probably not even 90% silver as that would cost them $12-$15 bucks alone!

Low price and bad picture aside, what did you guys see that was "off"? The only thing I really noticed was the liberty banner on the observe and the marks around the coin seemed a bit odd.

Yes, NO. The squashed pigeon on the reverse looks a bit sneaky, also.
