Can't see the dime that well, but item location FL, and shipped from outside US? Poor feedback? Does this seller reall have a raw key date in great condition?

It's a fake, just look at the reverse leaves.

The reverse lettering throws up 20 flags in itself.

I wanna make a Yakov Smirnoff joke here...but I digress.

The negative feedbacks the seller received say it all.

The weakness in the obverse is also a key indicator too.

Notice how the fields have little to no scratches, and the commemorative half dollars have that color to them like the fake morgans do.

The top part of the "H" in the "Hawaii" dollar coin is gone, too.
