Date is completely wrong, the 1's should be basically capital I's with stubby triangular serifs, whereas these 1s have a triangular flag on top and well defined rectangular serifs at bottom. Also, some of the drapery looks out of shape, at least from what I can tell from the pics. Probably a complete fake from counterfeit dies. A refund is definitely the move here.

I agree the date if off. Can we get a close up of the date?

Definitely counterfeit. The date is wrong. Hopefully you can get your money back on it.
Errers and Varietys.

Interesting counterfeit as the font style in the 1 was not used until the recessed date in 1925. The counterfeiter took the font style from a later date and put it on the pedestal design.

So this coin came from a so-called "Coin Show Dealer"  This so-called dealer should be pointed out so others don't fall for this ! |

I fully intend to if he does not own up. He is a legit dealer afaik. He is out at the PAN coin show in Monroeville, Pa this weekend.

I wouldn't cast aspersions on the dealer just yet. I'm sure plenty of honest dealers offer counterfeits that slip through every now and then without their knowledge.
