If I had to decide right now, I'd say they're fake.

The leaf on these fake SML reminds me of those copper maple rounds...

Here is the copper round, got from the internet:

Scary... pretty nice finish... would have thought the reverse proof was some kind of error...

Another way to tell for sure would be to explore some of the other items the seller has posted and compare them to the real deal...

Seems he's now trying to unload them as fast as he can now that he has been called out for selling fakes.

He's listed tons of them with a period of 24 hours for bids.

Something is real fishy with these sales for sure. He's selling 2013 SMLs, but all his pictures are of a 2011 SML. He's not showing anything of what he's listing for sale .

The reverse proof isn't all that abnormal. Although 2011 wasn't one of them, there were a few years with reverse proof (I believe mostly with privy). 2014 reverse without privy is one example. Here is a reference to some 1st gen ML fakes. http://www.ozcopper.com/fake-silver...g/dscf7231/, although the coin referenced here would not be one of them..
