Pics before it's pulled. Quite the laughable fake. Seems like the seller should know better.

Whoa! Why does Liberty have a coil spring on her shoulder?

I REALLY wish you had the coin in-hand. You could show us an image of the edge to see if the foil happens to be peeled back in a spot or two. That way we might be able to tell if it's Dark or Milk Chocolate.

That is one bad fake.

Definitely not. However, listings like this prey on the less educated collectors. I'm not familiar with this dealer but they seem to do quite a lot of business; as already mentioned, they should know better.

I do see the listing was just pulled.

I sent a message to the seller that I thought he had a counterfeit. He sent a thank you back and pulled the listing.

And looks like it's attached to one end of a combination wrench!
