Hello again - vermontensium - is correct in most cases but not all. There are always some honest eBayers who get stuck themselves and sell a forgery without knowing.
However in this case all three coins shown thus far are easy to spot numismatic forgeries of the type recently made in China from various base metals. The coins are injection molded (pressure casts) and the coin is edged with a tapered ring die that causes split top reeds.
I would cross this seller off my list of people worth dealing with.
But please study these coins they were all made the same way and have the same errors. Then go to the Heritage website and find originals for the same date and type and COMPARE the coins. After a very brief time you should be able to spot the fakes very easily.
