Anyone else think this coin looks wrong?

The hair details look too sharp and the lettering doesn't look right...

I'm no expert but a lot of his items for sale look a little too good to be true...

Not sure why this was bumped from last year?

IMHO, it looks like to me that someone took an etching tool to it, to make the hairlines stand out more.

Yeah, I think it was just re-tooled too.

Fake or genuine 'tooled', either way it looks way off and that coin should sit around his showcase for decades.

The relist has been reported on the CCF Counterfeit Forum.
It's definitely a counterfeit. Should be gone tomorrow.

The strange thing is, seller also has a genuine one for sale.
