Thanks y'all. I was fairly sure. I did let the seller know it may be fake.

100% counterfeit! I also bet the Seller already knows it's counterfeit, too.

Mushy details, raised rim, odd wear pattern. Fake.

It almost looks like a silver round. Here's the original horrible pic:

Keep in mind this Craigslist person makes no claims about the item and just wants to trade it for something. Maybe, they'd go for my monkey medal:

Probably, more rare and valuable than the round. At least, I had to earn it.

It's not a silver round, it's a Chinese-made fake called the 'Lightweight' counterfeit:

Thanks for posting this information, TheCoinDom. It is very enlightening and upsetting, too. That "Die-Hard" fake had me fooled.
