[QUOTE="Irish2Ice, post: 1193294, member: 28761"]The 0 in the date and "L" in Liberty as you pointed out are the biggest tell-tell signs. Coupled with the "wear" on the back Half Cent lettering, lack of even wear on the front with gunk, I would have to agree with the others. Something you can do with the auction house: Would this coin still be legal tender? If so, they sold counterfeit legal tender! Point this out and threatening to get the Secret Service involved should solve the problem and make you "just go away".[/QUOTE]
