I do hope it was a legit item, for the buyer's sake.

Me too. Was only represented as a sealed original item, which it was. So they didn't lie.

It's especially suspicious since they didn't post a single photo of the reverse of the coins, only five low-quality photos of the obverse and two of the COA.

I had the same thought and had posted it until I realized that it was sealed in plastic with a cardboard backing and the reverse cannot be seen. Then I deleted my post.

That box has nightmare written all over it. Exact box just sold on ebay for less than $300. Not sure if this is the buyer, but he's using the same photos. I asked him about it, and he dodged the question.

Wouldn't take much to get the box x-rayed to see if it has a dollar coin in it. Now whether it has the rare dollar in it is a whole different story!

I thought ebay did not allow "chance" listings? I world think a box of stale cheerios offering a "chance" shot at a random coin would surely be considered a "chance" listing. Guess I am wrong in that don't enforce THAT rule anymore!

They do enforce that rules (at least when coins are involved).
The Cheerios box listing will be removed.

Sure, every Dentist in the country has an x-ray machine, and most doctors.

However, "Sorry your insurance doesn't cover x-raying a box"

OK, my sore hand is now on the box.

Oh, I can't see the coin, let me move my hand and have you re-shoot it.

EOB: Your insurance does not cover three views of a sprained wrist. You may owe seventy bazillion dollars.
