Not sure if this should be reported or not.
What say you?

The price is a wee bit high, but I think it's genuine. Not exactly a popular series, nor a key date... doesn't add up to attract a counterfeiter's attention.

For nearly $20 however, I would expect either traces of red, or an angled shot to show that the chocolate color hasn't taken away the "flash" of an XF/AU coin.

My 2010 Krause lists this item as $10 in XF and $20 in UNC. I might call it XF.

It just joins the other 1000s of over-priced listings on ebay. I see nothing wrong with the coin itself.

I'm no expert, but it's similar in price and appearance to other, similar (overpriced) 5c. also listed on the Bay.

Looks ok to me, but I am no expert on fakes. @tryna, what feature(s) made you nervous?
