Here I go again diverging from my area of expertise... What do you think, is it real? If so, what grade would you assign? The seller - our local version of ebay - guarantees the coin's authenticity. I have no opportunity to view the coin in hand. Thanks!
The seller is in NZ and may very well not know how to tell a fake from the real thing. They deal in collectibles of all types. Coins - especially US coins - are a tiny slice of what they have for sale.
Anyway, I agree that the colour - and the smeary toning - looks bad. Thanks.
