I recently sold a small lot of coins on ebay: 235823960709

The buyer is now saying that the 1929 Nickel is counterfeit !! Has anybody ever heard of someone counterfeiting such a low value coin? Hopefully the guy's not trying to shake me down. I obviously want to avoid a return. Here's the coin:

Yes. No reply yet. I think it's a bizarre claim. Why would anybody think it's a good idea to produce a nice counterfeit of this coin?

Looks real to me. Not sure why that buyer thinks it's a fake.

I'm not sure what they're on about. It looks legit to me.

Well, it has been cleaned to within an inch of its life, but it looks real to me.

He got back and said the comment on the coin was a mix up.
