I have questions about it.

The bird, looks weird?

Can I see to test my own skills, if you agree this may be fake?
Confirm or say it's real and why

Adding pics from the auction so that folks can continue to learn when the images are taken down by ebay:

ebay does let you see the original listing. That weight matches that tag well and I believe this is a fine coin. That tag went with this actual coin.
