This coin has an unusual beat up shiny appearance, but it is a rare date, so possibly a hole filler. However the seller reports a weight of 0.71 ounces in the description. 22 grams. After reading that, the other telltale fake signs were easy to spot. Missing parts of letters for starters.

must've been one of those AI generated descriptions again.

Glad this fake was culled out.

Thanks to the proper authorities for round filing it. The pawn shop's advertising was splendid bait and it might have caught some unlucky fish.
