What is going on with this three cent? is this an error?

This coin is MS but appears to have a deformed rim and then a crack in the observe from this deformation.
Would this be considered an error or would this be a sign of a counterfeit (Cast pour)? More experienced members I am curiosu to learn and understand whats going on.

I'm not seeing any errors that looks like a deep cut/gash around the rim.

 

Looks like PMD. I have a 1866 in better shape I bought for $30 .

 

Might have a cracked planchet, but the images are so bad that I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Could just as easily be a bad rim dent and scratch. They also call it "high grade" but there is no way to be able to accurately determine the grade from those images. I'd be willing to risk $15 on it but that's about it.

 

What @Conder101 . You said Crapped Planchet ?

 

Ok.. Seriously now.. What is your problem?

Was that post really necessary?

 

Ether he was trying to make a joke, or possibly he thought I was referring to his coin and not the OP coin.

 

I see it as damaged.
And even if it weren't, the price is too high for that grade.
