I might be wrong as I am no expert on this but it looks fishy to me. The pic of the reverse is nice and clear and the obverse pic is a mess.

PCGS has no photo for this cert number.

This is not the famous 1955 DDO FS-101. This is a proof coin, with a barely perceptible doubling.

The seller's photo does not meet ebay policy, but some ignorant buyer may think it is the "famous" one since the photo is sort of "doubled".

Thanks for getting the pic posted.


And, yeah, the photo stinks. It appears to me that the lighting angle is intentionally deceptive.

Anyway, not a counterfeit -- just a stinky photo.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah, looks real to me, with bad photos and bad price. Lists for only $200.
