Real 1831 Half Cents are extremely rare. Only one die pairing exists for the obverse and reverse. This sure isn't it. Biggest tell is the leaf position past the last S in States. It is way too far to the right for it to be genuine.
Great Southern Coins sells a lot of cleaned and altered coins. One thing is, if you return anything, for any reason, GSC bans you from bidding in another future auction.
