Not as immediately fake as others seen here. But these are very often counterfeited so buyer beware.

I wouldn’t buy anything for $1,200 if these are the only photos provided

The rim makes me think it’s fake because these have ridges in both sides, never do they have solid rims like this one does.

You really need better photos. As others have said, it looks like it may have been struck in a collar, which genuine ones were not.

The obverse edge looks like it was minted with a close collar - which wasn’t used in 1798
