Looks like the classic Chinese counterfeit with the artificial patina around the devices and legends. With it in a 7 day auction, I doubt the Seller even knows it's counterfeit. Stuff like this is usually in the one day auction format. Reported .... we'll see if ebay gets around to it before someone gets burned. |

Looks to be an added mint mark.

Yeah, looks like a cast copy, and mint mark is wrong.

Kind of looks like a cast copy. but I think the MM looks ok just that it's in wrong location ?

what is it that indicates a cast copy?

And the "B" in VDB is wrong.
But even if everything looked right I'd pass on it because it's not slabbed.

I contacted the seller. From their feedback and other listings I'd say they probably are unaware.

I really don't see why people don't have coins like that sent to a TPGS. For the few dollars, they could sell faster. IF REAL that is.

Yup, ANACS is all you'd need.
This one is an obvious copy. Probably underweight.

Amazing, simply amazing! "Item ended by the Seller due to an error in the listing" We reported the listing to ebay, but it took ASQ's from us to the Seller to get him to question the coin and remove his own listing. We just did FOR FREE what ebay used to PAY employees to do! |

Westernsky, this isn't the first time...take a look at my other posts from the past 6 months, haha. Probably saved people roughly $20,000.
