https://www.ebay.com/itm/265130259813I came across this half dollar on ebay and I was wondering if anyone sees anything off about it. What makes me wonder most is the arrows. They seem to point downward and on every image I was able to find online the arrows point upward. Your thoughts? Disclaimer: I know and trust the seller, so I don't think they are intentionally selling bad coins, but a good counterfeit can trick almost anyone.

Thanks all.
@zurie while I agree that the arrows on the example you found do point downwards, that is definitely not the same die. The right arrow is in a different position altogether.

I believe that I searched every coin on Heritage's website and found none that match. Is there any place where all the die varieties are listed with photos? |

Many marriages for large arrows are available but we have not made a serious effort to document them to date. So no, from what I could find, not all the die varieties are documented. |

Here's one that I think matches exactly. The ebay coin is on top.   |
