If people bother to check, they would know it was not an actual issued coin. Just like if they checked they would find TV Shows are overpriced.

When you get burned the first time you'll see why I say this. I'll pay a local dealer a little more than online because I try to support local businesses, but even they have trouble with the new modern counterfeiter.
