Whether it's fake or not is impossible to tell since the seller used a stock photo without mentioning it was a stock photo in the listing, which is false advertising (a Google image search on "1852 large cent" quickly brings up the picture in question). I'd bet anything that whatever the buyer receives isn't anywhere close to being as nice as what's pictured.

That would be a fantastic price for the coin pictured on the auction!

I think it's genuine. Looks like the photos were cropped too much and eliminated most of the rim. Nice high grade Large Cent.

IGE, it's a stock photo which I didn't realize at first.
That coin is genuine, it's just not the one he is selling.
