I saw this on ebay. It has the same pictures and certification number as the one Rare Coin Wholesalers has up? I've heard disturbing stories about Rare Coin Wholesalers, but never that they would sell a fake coin. This has gotta be fake, right?

Unusual that a seller who just has sports cards listed and only 25 feedbacks would have such a coin for sale.

Well did you shoot them an email and ask them about it? Sometimes dealers show pictures of rare coins just to draw attention to their coin stock inventory - nothing illegal about that although kind of a shady practice.

@Hondo Boguss: Yeah, that's true. That's what made me double check the PCGS certification number in the first place!

@Marve65. Thanks, I will. I would agree with you, but people are bidding on it. It's up to almost $3000, which is a pittance compared to the coin's value, but a lot to pay into a scam.

Have you ever sat back and watched how many "Uninformed" people bid on "rare" coins? You can never judge the authenticity of a coin by the number of people bidding on it!
