@seap, I don't like the looks of that black metal underneath the copper. What is the weight of this piece?

As shown, is this the true color?

I'm no expert on Large Cents, but I don't like the look of this one from the coloration to the brush/cleaning strokes.

Also, the denticles and some of the design features don't look quite right.

Looks genuine.
Too bad about the damage. It would always grade as a Details coin.

EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if it is counterfeit. The strike itself is a red flag to me. If the seller can lie about its originality, then he can for sure lie about its authenticity.

Doesn't look right to me. I think it is likely a fake.

@seap, the consensus seems to be either fake or at the very least damaged. Hopefully the seller has a good return policy.

Thank you all for every comments.
I contacted the seller and he accepted the refund.
but, I have to make sure it's not authentic.
