A coin collector that lives about 30 minutes away is trying to sell me this Bust Half and something about it looks off to my untrained eye. Is thing fake? Thanks.

For a reasonable opinion we need to see the reverse also.

And if the "500" is the asking price it should be slabbed too.

It is genuine but harshly cleaned and polished. $350 is a no go for me. You could probably do better than that on ebay for an original coin, and ebay is high usually.
