Attached are images of an item that sold on eBay on June 28, 2011. It realized $710 Canadian dollars with four bidders and twelve bids.
The image quality is poor, but it is an obvious copy to me. There was a question and answer posted before bidding closed.
Q: The 1792 half disme, is it a restrike?
A: I don't know sorry thank you for interest.
The seller has a Canadian address. I suppose this makes him less liable for prosecution under the "Hobby Protection Act" or laws against passing counterfeit U. S. coins. Other lots on his sales were mosly low value coins. There were other low quality images of U. S. coins offered including a couple of other half dimes.
