First picture is from Charlton Standard Catalogue - this is what genuine RCM obverse should look like.
Compare with second picture which is counterfeit coin - note the areas in white circles where major differences occur.

What's the metal and how much does it weigh? It's a little disconcerting to see more and more of these coins. Here is another made of silver seen in Europe.   Edited by TheCoinHunter

The coin posted by TCH is the usual Chinese counterfeit,it has all the markers.
I've not seen one like SCC's,hopefully nickelsguy sees this one.

Sorry about the multiple posts everybody
I was hoping to see if someone would see the problems with this coin during the original post - and then thought for sure that the second post would be the giveaway - and then decided to reveal that it was a fake in final post.
I won't do that again. 
Am currently in discussions with the owner of this coin - in attempt to procure it, and forward it on to nickelsguy. |

That 84 above us is scary and could ruin this hobby.
Buying rare and raw coins is absolutely sooo risky now...

Fortunately, I can not afford an 84 like that one, so I would always pass

Well, keep an eye out for this one to surface again 
It was an Ebay listing in Minnesota, USA.
New seller "bucksforbargains" with zero feedback and zero sales.
I was trying to get the guy to let me have coin so I could forward on to nickelsguy.
Offered to pay for shipping, but he disappeared off radar today.

Mystery solved.
Not a fake.
It's a photo of a 5cent obverse to go with the 10 cent reverse in the grading request thread.
