I bought this off of ebay. I think it's a fake. Any opinions?

Kind of difficult to say but my opinion this far is FAKE.

I only have two reasons - the shape and composition of the chops seems wrong and the first assayer initial is the incorrect font.

Have you weighed the coin?

Is the edge correct?

Also, the strike looks off to me.

The weight was okay but I returned the coin to the seller without taking a picture of the edge.
