Was considering putting this in the counterfeit section but wasn't 100% sure. My experience on large cents is low. The big schnauz is what's really throwing me off here.

I'll let the pros decide

Yup.......definitely fakes, all three of them.

You should post the link in the counterfeit section.

I would do it, but it's your post so I think you should do it.

It's a (fake) Canadian coin, from a Canadian seller, so why is it priced in USD?

Look at the gaps between the details on the obverse. This is a "lake effect" caused by a poor transfer of details between the host coin and the die/mold.

The date looks really funny, the 1 looks to be angled in relation to the 8. Stay away! The same ebay seller also has a very shiny 1923 Canadian cent starting at $10, wonder if he is making them?
