At least they are letting you know it is a fake.

Yeah,the problem is the next generation of fakes will(try) fix the flaws.
Stating the obvious but a Minefield out there.

What I don't understand is how the counterfeiters can muck up the last mile.
They've got all the tooling to make it perfect, yet they always seem to leave a few artefacts which show flaws.

I'm guessing it's the old trick drug smugglers use, which is let a high profile patsy get caught, whilst you slip the bulk product in whilst everyone is looking one way.
In this case, it's give people a coin target to be fixated on, so you think their other $1 mules which are made perfectly, are real.

I'm not entirely sure this is even intended to be a fake mule - it's off-centre, so you can't rally see the "muleness". I'm wondering if it's not simply a fake $1 coin that happens to be the same date as the mule.
