Besides looking like a fake and not being in a slab, the mintmark is in the usual wrong place. Maybe there are a few other things I missed.

Naturally there are no returns.

Is $2 too much to offer?

Looks like they used a half dollar sized Seated Liberty on a dollar sized fake. They claim in the description, that it is NGC certified.

Looks fake to me and I don't know anything about Seated Liberties. But it must be a deal compared to the one priced at $14.8K!

Sellers calling it F-VF, I'm guessing he means Fake-Very Fake.

While I was drooling at the 1872-CC dollars, this special treat popped up as a "you might also like".

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2253349516...9SR6D4kYWzYQ

This one does allow returns. The Chinglish prose describing it is great:

"looks may have a little different between pictures , subject to receipt in kind !! if you are mind , please don't bid ,thanks !"

There is no mention of the fact that Carson City did not start minting Trade dollars until 1873....at least they got the number of stars right....

I would buy it for a dollar (not one cent more), out of a dealer's junk box, and add it to my 'black' collection, for my own education.
