dreaded southern coin, but what do you think?

What is with the weird black marks around the stars? Weird that they'd accrue only there.

AU-58, but I don't trust this dealer, who has been known to doctor his photos.

I too have heard that this dealer is not the most trustworthy.

I would stay away from this one. As others have said, this seller is well known for altering photos
Rest in Peace

why is the toning only on the stars? Did they forget to clean there?

It might simply be harder to clean there, or that cleaning everywhere looks more suspicious. Or it's new tarnish after a cleaning.
