1. New seller.
2. No track record.
3. Looks like the only coin he's selling.
4. Fake?
5. Not me!
6. Run away.
7. But free shipping is great!

It's the same old Chinese mold we've seen with several different dates.
Good eyes.

Agree, it does seem to have that 'looks too good to be real' appearance.

It's a counterfeit.
The date is in the wrong position
and the style of the numbers is wrong.

JimmyD, Can you please explain in more detail? The coin does have a strange look but when I compare the date with the following picture it looks correct. The picture is from PCGS Coinfacts.  Here is the coin in question,  Edited by Heymikep

Counterfeit. Letters and date are off. Surface texture looks off as well.

Just be a bit careful with these, especially if heavily toned.
It is possible possible to rub a tiny amount of black wax into the band splits to emphasize those splits.
Very tempting for the seller to do so, if the splits were originally not immediately obvious.
Easy to remove the wax with acetone, to confirm if the buyer has been duped or not.
Make sure there is a guaranteed return policy.

The number on date do look wrong all together, I'd be cautious and don't touch it with a ten foot pole.

A flea market find, no doubt. Reported!

Jeez - looks like pewter! Not even close to 90% silver!

This one is a weird fake. The usual Chinese mold has an upward-slanting diagonal date that is immediately obvious as a fake. I couldn't find a match for this one, using the date or the die scratch/crack/gouge right of the B in LIBERTY. It's definitely bogus, but not sure from where.

counterfeit and "antiqued" to try and hide that fact.
