I know GSC photos are sometimes manipulated, and some have even suggested they use shill bidding. This one may end up out of my price range, but I'm tracking it for now. From the photos, this coin looks original, though the obverse rim between 6 and 9 o'clock looks a bit odd.

Anyone seen anything like this?

I believe I see evidence of cleaning, particularly on the reverse.

Definite rim issue as you point out. I wouldn't buy from this outfit for any reason.
Rest in Peace

I think it may have been cleaned, something going on in the obverse fields. The image also looks manipulated to me

The coin looks like it has been cleaned as there are hairlines above the date.
