I does look really nice for not being graded. But what is that green in the reverse between the 2nd and 3rd chime?

On one hand, the Return policy says "7 days after the buyer receives it." Yet, on the Payment details, it says "No returns accepted."
Specimen color, and the alignment of the date under Liberty's, namely the second 1 underneath her hair...
Aside from the coloring on this specimen, which looks unnatural, is it me, or does the year on this specimen look suspect? The year does not look "right", in comparison to the two 1881 specimens that I have on hand... http://cgi.ebay.com/1881-3-cent-nickel-gorgeous-uncirculated-brilliant-/230465495894?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item35a8d06356 Thoughts?
I'll offer my opinion, for what it is worth, that the coin in the o.p. is not genuine. the rims look too fat, and for a coin that appears uncirc. there is very little detail in parts of the hair, for example. I agree that the date and lettering looks off, too.
I agree that ebay 3cent is off! there something not right about north west part of the rim.what I not sure.
I'm about 90% sure the eBay coin is a fake. The profile seems wrong, the lettering doesn't seem right the rims on the obv are mushy but crisp on the reverse and the relief seems off. (You can't say much about the date position since the individual dies had the date punched in by hand. The date tends to wander a bit from one die to the next.)
