No immediate reason to think that it is not. Quite often auction houses list coin collections to settle estates and there may be multiples of many coins in these collections.

That would make me immediately suspicious with 7 being available. Let me take a closer look...

Edit: I noticed an X on the back of it as if it was marked as bogus by its previous owner. This has happened to legit coins before, though, but I'm still looking.

No way to know which of the seven coins you would get.

The ad should read "Coin pictured is the coin you get". But '7 available' ... I wouldn't take that chance.

3 problems......
1. That "X" on the reverse.
2. That high BIN price
3. What do the other 6 coins look like?

I think this is an error listing by the seller, I think he meant to offer just the 1 coin.

Clearly, the seller has one such coin and erred when producing the listing.

I know nothing of draped bust dollars, but what's up with that date? Big number big number big number TINY DIFFERENT FONT. What gives?

I agree it's a little weird looking. But my 1805 DBH's date looks the same way...

1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar
(and you can't show just the obverse...)

Now, a Draped Bust dollar dated 1805? That would be a find!

Seems like it would benefit everyone especially the seller to have such a pricey coin graded/authenticated.

If you had a 1985, $1 Drapped Bust, you might have a ticket to Jail. LOL Sure wouldn't mind having one the 84 proofs though. Ah well..."If wishes were horses, beggers would ride".

Attribution matches O-112, just off hand I don't see a problem with it. Other than the X scratched in the shield.
