Regardless the morphology of the date leads me and others (see other thread) to believe this may be a counterfeit. Technically, the out of focus photo is enough to get it removed, per ebay coin selling policy.

Just look at the reverse - mushy / grainy details and the off-purple fake patina from common Chinese castings. Also the scratches along the rim reveal the (brass?) slug underneath the patina.

JimNWLincoln Pillar of the Community United States 908 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 10:56 am Agreed - Reverse die chip used on old batch of Chinese replica/counterfeits is present. It looks like the coin got an antique coating after it was cast. What are the URLs for the other questionable coins? I did a quick check and did not spot them. Report this Post to the Staff
