I don't think the MM position is the issue here.

it looks like it was created in a sand cast mold.

Marve - my concern would be that the MM position might initially mislead a potential buyer.

Regardless if people do not know the characteristics of a fake coin, cast or not, the MM location is always easy to look up on the internet and compare them. EDIT: After all - that is how you distinguish RPM's and other varieties. Edited by Marv65

Sorry, guessing not everyone is as clever as you researching MM positions before making a purchase decision.

Wait - you're saying "common sense" should stop a newbie from buying this coin? Really?

Understand how this could be misleading, close to MM position on right of the first row,

Mint Mark is not the same shape on the OP coin compared to the real mint mark.
EDIT: I understand what you are saying but I was just trying to show the genuine example compared to the fake coin the OP is asking about. I never thought trying to help people see the difference would be met with pushback.
