    Pretty bad fake, poor dentils and the rev is a chimeric concoction of type 1 and 2 details. Check out the edge reeding too. I messaged the seller, who said they'd take it down, but guess what? Now bid up to $350 fake 1876 cc TD edge.jpg fake 1876 cc TD obv.jpg fake 1876 cc TD rev.jpg

    You made a typo in the OP. This looks like a Type 1/Type 1 combination.

    I believe the feathers on the eagle's neck are from a type 2, and the arrowhead/berry are type 1, no?

    I think the rev die was made from a type 1 rev,then they decided to engrave the eagle's neck feathers more deeply, resulting in a mullet.

    This is a very crude die therefore the neck feathers don't match any hub. Nevertheless, the two "main" features that are naked eye indicators are the "berry" for a Type 1 Rev (as you said) and the left curvung ribbon end on the obverse, also Type 1.
