Even with the crappy pictures it's an obvious fake. Another fine product made in China.

It may have come out of the same shop as this classic fake that's been around for years:

Here's another I have in my archives - FAKE! The date is the give away, it's almost comical.

someone offering to sell it, he said he was offered 700 for it from 2 different dealers. I still would want to have it looked at before making an offer

Now you know you're dealing with a complete fraud. Not only is the coin fake, he's a liar on top of it.
