It looks like the dies were made with a dremel tool.  |

I have an 1802 from the same counterfeit series uncatalogued in my stacks. Same face.
So yeah... I second CoinCollector2000's sentiment most emphatically. :-)

Bidders know it's fake. There are only less than three hours to end the auction and the highest bid is $ 15.51.

"Bidders know it's fake" Yeah...I guess?  And yet, bids are at 10X the value.  |

Not only a fake, but a very poor example of one at that!
Just curious, isn't the seller supposed to list it as fake or counterfeit in their description?

I like how the ebay "genius" posted it in the large cents flowing hair (1793-1796) category. |

Only if he wants to greatly increase the chances that ebay will pull the auction. ebay rules forbid fake coins but they tend to turn a blind eye to a lot of them being sold as real. But LIST it as a fake and you are rubbing their nose in it and they are much more likely to enforce their rule. This can be a problem for listing some pieces which are widely collected counterfeits such as the bogus busties, and contemporary counterfeit British half pence etc. |

This guy put up a rather lame "I know nothing" disclaimer in the detail. Sure guy whatever you say.
