I found a 1893 Columbus Half-Dollar for sale on Ebay and the listing says it's a copy (counterfeit) but it looks like many I've seen for sale on Ebay, so I figured it would make for an interesting discussion and if it is a counterfeit, it will act as a warning to those of us interested in buying the authentic coin.
I waited to post this until after the auction closed so I could not be accused of either interfering or promoting the sale of this coin.
