I saw this one on ebay and copied the pictures to see what you think. This coin does not look authentic to me but wanted to make sure with the forum. These are pics from ebay, I do not have the coin

It has the look of a former Encased Coin?

Mint mark is too close. Matches none of the 6 dies.

Looks suspect. May be an issue with the left wheat stalk too (looking for that tell-tale die chip)--curiously bad images.

Interesting that the counterfeiter managed to get the MM in the right general area for this date, where all of the die positions are similar.

I bet we've gotten over a hundred of this exact obverse die removed from ebay.
