I think that you are right Gene.... All digits in the date look pretty squirrelly, but that "2" is just plain wrong.

Thee 2 is in a different font. The S also looks too mushy to me.

No returns accepted, fonts are all wrong on the date, has that "plastic" look of Chinese coins; almost certainly a fake.

Hope they do something about this guy. Feel bad for the people that have already bought his fakes.

fake.......and it seems a lot of these have the same grayish coloring on them....not to say that all gray colored coins are fake but it seems that a lot of the fake coins are that or very similar color. Anyone else have input on this?

@Billie: Not only the date gives it away, but look at the Eagle's Left Wing.
