Might be just some corrosion and harsh cleaning issues.

One thing is for sure! too: THROUGHLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE RETURN POLICY OF THIS SELLER as it has several "gotchas". Including limited cash refunds, 10% restocking fees and merchandise credits.

Not my idea of someone I'd want to do business with through the mail.

DBM is it the nose and grainy appearance that makes you suspect?

Pretty definite. Isn't the nose bridge missing a key marker?

Unforgivable if an ANA member is selling counterfeit.

Yeeouch, that one does not look good.

I find the graininess looking like those fakes that have an acid-bathed surface. I suppose that could just be horribly cleaned and toned though. This is one of those coins where I'd want to see in person to look at metal flow. Very off, all around.
