Agree. The tip of the lower tail of the 3 should be further to the left than the tip of the upper tail.

Looks legit , the only thing I would question is the entire date being so bold while the rest of the obverse is fairly worn .

Definitely altered. The bottom part of the 3 on a genuine one is big and full.

The coin is located in the
Russian Federation

That's all I need to know. That alone tells me what it is

Everything about that thing is wrong. Would love to have it in my counterfeit collection as I've not seen that one before.

I admire that reply, Bopper. You could just as easily have deleted your original post and no one would have known.

Usually when a us coin comes from Russia it is altered. The try to scam people o lot. Try to be aware of these other countries.

Here is an image of a known fake one:

With a low number stuck that year 866,000, there should be a low number of dies that year. I think I narrowed it down to three dies:

Thanks. That fake you show is a heck of a lot better than the OP's.

I had already submitted a report with ebay yesterday (and I did note it being from Russia as people pointed out which was my first clue). It only had 1 bid. Now its up to $44 with 10 bids. Maybe somebody who normally files reports can let ebay know so they stop this sale. Looking for a album filler 1931 S is why I am looking at these.
