Saw this auction and thought the coin looked fishy... opinions?

All around shady auction- uncertified, key date coin with funky surfaces (poor quality cast?), a seller with 18 FB, and a private listing to boot. Looks like someone wants to waste at least $150 in a bad way

I bet that one bid on it is a shill. It should be certified if its real.

I agree this looks like a cast copy to me and a very bad one at that
