I see the obverse pic is reversed, which is pretty funny.  Otherwise, the coin looks pretty legit to me. Edited by SilverDollar2017

I would trust my gut feeling when buying from this seller. I have received a lot of great buys from them. But also I have purchased items from this seller and I say on average I have been 50% satisfied with them. I have received wrong items had items mysteriously disappear after payment for them and received items not as they were described. Lately I have noticed that their shipping has become very slow. I used to receive items in a couple of days but since about April they have sent shipped message but tracking shows not received for up to 3 or 4 days later.

It looks real but how did they reverse the picture? It's easy enough to do with film by flipping the negative. But digitally? A picture of a mirror image?

Yes, that "flip" can be done with practically any image processing software. I think you can even do it with PowerPoint.
Notice that the seller doesn't mention anywhere that the coin was minted from a flipped or mirrored die. You would think that is important. The seller just states that you will receive the exact item.
And you will ... but it won't be flipped as it is in the image.

Seller says "You will receive the exact item!" I bet not.  |

Could be an honest mistake. But I thought #10 was interesting: Quote:

I like a strong die clash, but this takes the cake....and normally you would see shadowy reverse elements instead of a perfect obverse....

Flipping an image is super easy, and I have even done it my self and posted pics on ebay flipped. I was later told by an eBayer about my mistake. |

I just sent them an email, they replied in about a minute.
I imagine it will be fixed very soon.
