Looks wrong (porous and cleaned) but hard to tell with a blurry pic. There's a chance it's real and was hit with a hammer near the date.

The other stuff he has looks genuine.

I think it is a genuine, beat up, BENT, old coin with poor photography (perhaps over enlarged).

Go-Rebels, you can see it's bent from one of the seller's photos:

Maybe it is the blurry picture of the bent coin?

(I still feel the issue is not blurry pictures but a "blurry" cast coin that somebody made in their garage.)

Bobby131313 - since we do not have agreement on this coin - if you want to lock & move thread - that is ok with me... thanks.
