Here's a link to the fake in the Heritage Archives for those who want to examine it in detail:...
I am unable to delete the image so added some verbiage to make it clear that it's a fake. That's what I get for staring at mintmarks for an hour....
You are exactly right! I just realized that when I went back to the PCGS thread. Boy am I embarrassed! I need to delete that image from my post.
the first example seems to have a MM closest to the OP's coin but I was not able to copy a larger image. It's Heritage lot # 3890 sold April/May...

It's probably easier to ask "what would make you think it is genuine?" Seriously, everything is wrong, from the dentils to the details, mushy and...
One of the more bizarre ebay listings I have seen, from the "coin" to the seller's comments. Has to be seen to be believed....
