It's a terrible fake - run away from any possible purchase.

Looks to be the "vampire" counterfeit - two vertical bite marks on the neck.

Same obverse @kbbpll but a nonsense reverse; this "family" is based on the Off-center 1795, the only date with this obverse...

I also wrote a Coin Week article on these fakes!

Yes, different position of the leaves on the reverse than the 1796 fake in your article. Full article here: https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/s...ust-dollars/
