The date position and numeral 3 look phony to me. Pics aren't good enough to see other markers. Denticles look alarming as well. What say you?

not only that but the "S" mint mark is not centered. both reverse dies have centered S, and one has a tilt to the right. this one looks a little off to the left and high.

Absolutely no way this coin could be authentic.

"No returns accepted" = HUGE red flag.

Run away.

Needs to be reported. Not a chance it's real.

The fact that it looks AU and is not graded. . . . . Yep. Fake. There's no way this coin would survive into 2014 having never been graded. This, along with all the other "red flag" diagnostics presented so far. However, this fake looks much better than the others I have seen. Any thoughts on its origin from somewhere other than China?

I didn't know Liberty had a pimple on her nose. And it's so nice and shiny.

It almost looks like whoever made it took a genuine S mint reverse and paired it with a 189X obverse. Then they removed the last digit and created their own 3.

Bidding has reached over $1,000 USD this is painful watching people bid on something that is obviously fake.

This coin has the same surface appearance as the GSA CC Morgans that razzy purchased.
