Fake. The skirt lines are way too strong for 1918, and I don't like the shape of the date.

 

What he said......fake

 

The color looks off....definitely no silver alloy and I don't like the rim, too.

 

From China with love,

Yikes.....

 

I know it's a photo but the coin doesn't look right to me. Color was first, then the background, then the design. It's looks different but I can't pinpoint it. I'd avoid it like the plague.

 

Granular surfaces. Fake.

 

If its silver it's not a total loss.

 

Agreed, it looks like a cast copy to me.

 

Fake. Surfaces a dead giveaway at first glance.

 

No doubt, it's fake.

 

Fake as a 3 Dollar Bill

 

Thanks all, was waiting for replies...and that's what I thought also...
and only $595.00

Reported. (Finally looked at the full-size picture and realized why nobody took issue with my initial assessment. Yuck!)

 

I reported as well.

 

Before I read all the evaluations, I took a good look at the coin and said "Yuck."

Guess my Spidey sense was on the mark.

 

I sent the seller an eBay message and he wanted to know why we felt it was fake...so I sent him the list.

New message from: XXXXX

I realize that there are a lot of good fakes floating around, as I just took a loss on a 1909 S Indian Head Cent a sent in to have certified that was determined to be counterfeit. I know the coin has an odd looking rim but what is your basis for stating that this coin is counterfeit?

Well, he removed the listing, to his credit.

 

The seller has pulled the listing...he pointed out that the MM location was off and I did not catch that before. Live and learn, one of the benefits of the diverse knowledge that you guys have.

 

Yes.
