I found this listing. I don't know if the account has been hijacked, the guy just doesn't know anything about coins or he's a scammer. The listing basically speaks for itself, I hope nobody buys this coin.

Which listing--that one on ebay, where the seller uses a pic from a book as his primary photo?
The actual pics of the coin are lousy, but I see enough to eliminate the possibility of the Snow-1. And he claims to have two!
I've tried to report that one, but found no category to report.

The Snow-1 is an incredibly rare coin, so be ultra-skeptical of any seller's claims. I recall Snow saying it must be slabbed.

Yet, I've seen many on ebay auctions--always involving some blurry pics and big arrows pointing to an non-existent 8/7

I agree, no sign of the bottom of the "7" under the "8". Usually these are stains or corrosion that are mistaken for varieties.

Also, the position of the "1" in the date in relation to the bust is all wrong.
Jim, I've been briefly fooled by dirt on the 8 that looked like the overdate.
