I just saw this on ebay and it looks fake to me but the seller looks to be reliable? What are your thoughts?

One-look fake. Lots of tells here, starting with the moustaches, both of which are way off.

Just compare this with my slabbed 65, there is no comparison. Definitely fake.

Agree - Definitely fake. Cartoonish images.

These are readily available on ebay for $5-10. I contacted the seller - will let you know what he says.

Looks like a jewelry dealer who only occasionally sells coins. This is a good place for the "soft" approach as Coinfrog is doing it.

The seller's other commemorative halves are also fake.
