Oh no, there's a link to the blog article in there too. Shame the seller wasn't willing to send it to PCGS for verification.

What you get after an hour in the shed per the seller's moniker? :D

The real error has no bids but the fake error does.

The double struck $2 seller tells me he got it in change at a seven11 in (Blacktown) Sydney!!

With the absence of rim formation on the double strike
IMO lt appears to me to be a clever garage job.

While I am just as happy as the next person to point out a shed job I do not believe that coin is one of them.  It looks like it may have been damaged after being double struck but I'm not seeing anything wrong with the double strike itself.  It looks remarkably similar to all the other $2 errors of this type that I've seen.
