This coin is an obvious fake. Variety 2 obverse was not introduced until 1886. The PCGS slab is fake as well. Please report it and get it off the market!

Yikes, coin doesn't even look right as a whole, and a sad excuse for even a fake like this one

Yes....its really bad. I reported it, but PCGS has always sided with the seller on fakes I report. If they get too many reports, they will have to do something!

I really hope it gets removed. It's such a bad and obvious fake.

Just sent them a pic of the real one - see if they yank it.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Maybe they'll get around to pulling it before it sells or times out! Then again, maybe they won't.

ebay is a "funny" place, sometimes!
