I agree with the majority of you that think that this coin is fake. There are probably thousands of fakes floating around out there of this key date. If you are seriously interested, I would contact the seller for better photos, and ask if he/she would be willing to send it in for certification. If not, then STAY AWAY. It is not worth risking thousands of dollars on a chance that it could be real.

He's lifted the photos using google,the coin he shows he doesn't own.He's probably Googling right now for better photos,in case someone should request them.
SCAM.

The coin pictured is not fake. The seller is trying to auction the digital image of someone else's coin... unless you like throwing away money, do not bid on this coin.

I agree with Numismat. There is no way the Obv and Rev are the same coin. The Obv looks like a nice Pcgs AU 55. That's what I would grade it. This sure looks like a scam. What can we do about this?

Yea, but the fact that the bidding after 2 days is not into the thousands pretty much means all the serious and knowledgeable collectors have recognized the BS.

Look at the bids, most well below $100. Good thing most people were smart enough to risk only a low bid.
