VDB on reverse has incorrect period placement after "D", should be midway to "B" not near "D".

I'm sure there are other markers NSS can elaborate upon.

This is one awful counterfeit. Just dreadful.

The mint mark.
The obverse rims.
The reverse rims.
The sick color.
The die chip on the inside of the left wheat stalk.
The weak LI of LIBERTY.
The M on UMUM.
The shape of the lettering ("mushy").
The blunt wheat stalk tips.
oh, and more.

This is 100% guaranteed a fake. "... part of my father's estate. Coin is in CH BU condition" PUH-leeze!

Agreed. Reverse has the die chip found on a batch of old Chinese counterfeits that all used the same reverse die for a variety of dates & mint marks.
