Fake 1876 CC Trade Dollar, please report

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255957542073
Pretty bad fake, poor dentils and the rev is a chimeric concoction of type 1 and 2 details. Check out the edge reeding too. I messaged the seller, who said they'd take it down, but guess what? Now bid up to $350

@ksparrow

You made a typo in the OP. This looks like a Type 1/Type 1 combination.

 

Thanks to you guys work, the ad is taken down.... I was just wondering if it was our old freind Texaco Bob.

 

Quality Control must be asleep at the wheel huh! Thanks for the updates everyone.

 

No:

 

I believe the feathers on the eagle's neck are from a type 2, and the arrowhead/berry are type 1, no?

 

I think the rev die was made from a type 1 rev,then they decided to engrave the eagle's neck feathers more deeply, resulting in a mullet.

 

This is a very crude die therefore the neck feathers don't match any hub. Nevertheless, the two "main" features that are naked eye indicators are the "berry" for a Type 1 Rev (as you said) and the left curvung ribbon end on the obverse, also Type 1.
