on ebay...I think I've seen them before.
The lettering seems too strong for a worn coin.

They don't look right, but who knows from a computer screen. The 2nd one (1890) looks cast.

It's like they weren't even trying, look at that 4 in the 1894. They couldn't even look up a picture. Counterfeits and counterfeiters are disgusting.

No risk of that coin selling at least being 49USD starting bid.

The 1872 is also counterfeit.
Look at the type style on the dates as well as the obverse.
A perfect candidate for the Canadian Counterfeit thread.


Edit-
They have been removed already.

"A very fine coin from my uncle collection."

The uncle's collection appears to be a very popular con-artist theme, that and illness.
