It looks generally okay, but I'd proceed with utmost caution given that many of his other coins are fake.

I doubt that this piece is genuine. The letters in the reverse legend don't look right to me. Might the digs on the reverse have been inflicted to remove the word "COPY" ? Oftentimes, on older copies I've seen, that's where the word "COPY" was positioned, at the central area atop the wreath.

Only 10 feedback and 9 of them were from "best offer accepted" deals. Registered in May 2016. Too fishy for me.

its been removed.yea the whole picture was questionable feedback and all.the coin looks scary real but a number of things didnt look natural.spot between the cap and dentils looks more like a casting flaw than damage or corrosion.A in america has no center crossbar.color is odd.leftside reverse rim looks fishy field above one cent looks fishy.looked plenty real at a glance though
