unfortunately, it is impossible by now. Coins are not my.
and I do not see any reason now to ask the seller additional photos.
The originality of coins is difficult to determine from the photo anyway.

ps: I'm sorry for grammatical errors if they are present :)

Thanks to all for discussion.

If the seller is in Russia as you are then I would believe they are counterfeit unless there is absolutely positive proof they are genuine. It is much easier for a counterfeiter to pass U. S. coin fakes outside of the USA so be very, very careful and find a coin dealer you can trust.

There are websites which will help you in detecting counterfeits that you can rely upon when you might need to do so.

Good luck and happy hunting in your collecting.

I can't say for sure that you have a genuine coin, but I don't see enough evidence to condemn this coin. Many counterfeits of U.S gold coins are stuck and contain gold of proper weight and fineness. Often times the counterfeits have tool marks and or depressions that give the coin away. Those signs sometimes can be hard to see in photos and require an in person examination to spot.
