Lousy pics. Can't offer any sort of opinion based on these.  |

I need better pics to really determine authenticity

No way to tell anything from these photos. Best thing to do is avoid buying it.

This is a much better date that doesn't look good but those images make it difficult to tell anything for sure. Pass.

Personally, I don't like it. The date seems weird and the O Mint Mark looks off. And, of course, the pictures leave a lot to be desired. Check my 1852 O SL Half for comparison:   Edited by Moe145

Its a coin I would only buy in a PCGS or NGC holder. Just my humble 2 cents.

I couldn't find a match for it on the no-no site, but that doesn't mean that it isn't counterfeit.
IMO, I don't like it either. But honestly, I can't tell one way or another from those pics.
@Moe145
The date was the first thing that stood out to me as being potentially wrong, and the lack of relief in the eagle's feathers was the next thing I saw.

If you're going to bid on a coin like that, don't bid any more money than you would be willing to throw into the dumpster.
