The coin in the auction looks like the "Genuine Obverse #3" in the pictures you posted.

I think the coin would probably be real by looking at the sellers feedback.
The seller has a 100% feedback and the seller has also sold a lot of coins.

Well, the coin looks definitely suspect, and probably is a fake, but there is no way to 100% say that. It could be real, and the photo may be hiding some of the genuine characteristics, or might be hiding counterfeit characteristics. I would definitely stay away from it either way.

That gives me little assurance that this one is real. The only real coins he has listed currently is (1971 P D U.S. MINT SET BU PROOF COINS CENT HALF DOLLARS) |

Fake in my opinion...The MM looks horrible and even the date looks off. It amazes me the amount of bids this has and the amount of cash floating around on this coin. People bid on anything these days.

i saw it from a small photo and it was enough, I mean MM, the date and the coin itself didnt look right at all.

I would have to vote fake. The distance between the numbers is to close. and as compared to the closest example the mm isn't even close. In the same scale the date is 10% shorter from left to right.  |

Knowing that a nice, clear photo would probably rake in more cash, I wonder why the seller decided to just quickly photograph a picture of a valuable coin and sell it hastily? Something is fishy.

seller didn't do anything wrong except taking bad pictures. he started the auction at $0.99, its the bidders that made the price go up so much. Would I buy a raw example by those pictures, no I wouldn't but I wouldn't buy a graded example either unless it was for someone else
