Glad to see that this unrealistic sale was aborted. I realize that the seller said that all of his "coins" were authentic. Yet, this replica of a Confederate Half, clearly marked as a COPY on the reverse, is NOT a coin but an "authentic" or marked copy. While I do believe that the seller was not being intentionally deceptive in this offering, I'd have preferred to see more attention drawn to the item offered as being a copy or modern replica.

What you prefer is not allowed on ebay any more though.

Did anyone snag an image of it before it was taken down?

Here's a similar item:

Another with likely the word "COPY" scratched out:

Another, but "Vintage" per the seller:

And, a similar item that the seller says "possibly could be silver" - from the United Kingdom:
