I'm not an expert, however a coin worth that money and not slabbed on ebay, when slabbed coins get more, would scare me off.

Looks fake to me and it's from Hong Kong, steer clear of this one.

Man alive, this hong kong seller also has up a '85 Lib. nickle. It looks too nice.
199. also. Nice start for a 10k coin. Any bid would suprise me.

I would stay clear of it, too. The rims on this coin don't look right to me.

Yeah...that one doesn't set off any alarms.
I find these auctions hugely entertaining...and educational.

First thing that I thought was that "o" looks fake (as I see Moe145 did also). The big giveaway was the seller from Hong Kong!

I was going to say, "not to worry', it has been removed", but I was too late. That is what I get for coming in late!
All kidding aside, I have noticed a decided increase in alertnes for these Chinese fakes! That is good.
