Looks like a poorly made copy of one.

Cannot make a determination from those photos.

At least the Seller offers a viable return period and he has 100% pos feedback.

But how would the buyer really know?

You ask the Seller for better pics and/or you buy it. Once you receive it you examine it, make your determination as to authenticity and either send it back for a refund (if you don't like it) or keep it (if it's real).

Sellers with little or no feedback scare me. Sellers with multiple transactions, 100% feedback and have been around a while are usually pretty reliable.

Interesting, I also posted this on PCGS and every response said it was real. Seems like an even split.

Would not be bothered with this piece unless I could see it 'in hand', before deciding to make a decision to buy.
Needs at least to be confirmed by weighing, and a comparative ring tone test against a known genuine example.

I see no reason to doubt it, qualified by the fact that tilted images like this distort the appearance of the coin so much they wouldn't be accepted as evidence in court. Anyone who is "positive" based on these images does not understand photography.

I blew the photos up to huge but it's tough to get it to the point that I can make out specific diagnostics before the photo begins pixalating.

However, from what I can see, I don't see a single thing that looks wrong.

But again, the photos just are not good enough to be certain.

My gut told me it's real. Not an expert, but I've seen some bad fakes. If this is fake it's a good one.

You're right, the blind accusations certainly are.

The pictures obviously aren't great but it looks real to me.

For what it's worth, it looks OK to me.

It does not appear to have the characteristics of the current Chinese fakes, however too hard to tell for sure based on the photos. Seems that the ebay bidders believe this one is real.
