As I am not completely certain about my ability to judge these dollars yet, I thought that I would advise you
of my suspicion.

I think you're right.

The date (look at the 7), the Eagle's head, the features, none of these look right to me.

I'll always think twice about bidding when all of a seller's auctions are private.
And no money back guarantee on top of that...

Even the "1" in the date doesn't look right.

It's that same one we've been seeing! With the scowling liberty and the chicken-eagle!

It has the die chip on the E in UNITED, and I *think* I can make out the scratch in the reeding by the N in UNITED, but the picture's fuzzy.

My guess is a CF-S$1-1799-0002: http://fakes.numismetrica.com/2012/...1-1799-0002/.

Fakety fake-fake, and *lots* of these guys are on the market right now.
