I have no idea what any of these are. Real or fake, or washing machine coins. The seller has a few coins listed.

Cleaned and polished maybe? The auction ended with no bids. I'm sure it will be relisted; hopefully with an honest description this time.

At $1.99 starting, I doubt it's fake. That would hardly cover reproduction costs if you had a ton of them. Not much room for profit.

The only thing I find odd is the rim, which appears to be in really great shape considering the state of the fields.

Indians don't have rims like that even when they're well struck and uncirculated. It's just a form of post-strike damage.

Definite PMD. Actually a pretty common occurance. I strongly believe that this coin is genuine.

Incredible PMD, but not a counterfeit. There's a guy on ebay who does sell counterfeit high grade Indian Head cents, however I forgot his username, so now he is unfortunately getting by making $$$
