I found this 1913 S Type 2 on ebay, but the S mark looks off to me. Can any experts weigh-in based on your knowledge?

Here's a link to an oversized photo:

Looks real to me. Upper serif looks slightly larger due to some strike weakness noticeable in the flatness of the lower part of CENTS. I did see this one up on ebay and IMO it's overpriced for a raw example.

Looks OK to me, unsure of asking price.

Beginning bid was $620 but no takers. Thanks all for the feedback. What gave me pause was the slanted S to the right, but I did notice later one of the PCGS examples had a similar position. Agreed Ty2020b the FIVE CENTS is noticeably flattened compared to the condition on the rest of the coin.

The mint mark style is MMS-001, blocked serifs and die chip in the upper loop. It is correct for a 1913-17 San Francisco Buff.
