And, of course, it just "happened" to be the narrow O. Report it though the site here.

I emailed the seller to let him know it was a fake and that it was being reported.

The seller just sent me an email saying that the 1880 quarter has been removed and he thanked me.

Please, if your going to report it here, do not email the seller. Then all we do is waste our time reporting it half the time.

When I went to the "fake" and "counterfeit" forum, it wouldn't let me in. I'm not the one who first noticed it and I had no way to let the 2-3 people who follow through with these know that there was a fake coin. I wanted something to be done as soon as possible .. who do we let know if we see a fake?

What tells you this is a fake please? I agree but on shallow grounds, basic overall appearance.

The surface appearance that looks "cast". Around the eyes and bridge of the nose. The crows feet that come off the eyes. The BIGGEST thing to look for is the seller's history, what he sells, his feedback rating and someone who just happens to have the scarcest coin in the series and nothing else .. combined with essentially just starting selling.
