Correct ... not authentic and the winning bidder will be very disappointed.

Alas ebay is full of these now that the 'coin advisory committee' has been disbanded.

Good catch.

Fake, struck in a collar. Can someone confirm that the US did not use a collar until the Seated coinage?

How can you bid on a coin with those terrible pictures anyway.

Fake as can be. Someone will find out I guess.

A very obvious fake.

Reported. Hopefully it will get taken down, before the listing ends.

Regardless of anything else: wonder who bids that high without wanting better pictures to look at.
Rest in Peace

When comparing the two shots side by side,

a) look at the shape of the top portion of the 3 digit,

b) observe the point on the adjacent '1' where the left top portion of the '7' digit points to: not the small connected section pointing downward,

c) irrespective of the possibility of varieties the first significant indentation in the hair curls/waves proceeding downward from the top of the head(closest to the upper forehead) appears to be unnatural based upon expected & normal wear patterns.

them make your decision.
