I thought I would be innovative with this listing. What do you think?

nice -- I like it. Just wish there was a good way to include photos of both side of the coin.

Very good. I may steal your idea.

I have never seen this done before. I thought it would be good for the potential buyer to see that what I am asking is a fairly reasonable price with the proof right in front of them.

That is a decent idea, the pic isn't that great tho - and as said it would help to include both sides. Sorry it didn't sell for you!

I won't buy a coin if both sides aren't shown. I get what you are trying to do by showing the mintage, but honestly the picture isn't that great. How about showing two great images of the coin close up, and add the one of the coin on the paper as a third image?

Another problem is that the price guide you show may actually be doing more harm than good. What I see is that if the coin is MS-63 then your starting bid is higher than what your own guide says. The differences between each point in the MS grades are pretty small. If I don't have high resolution close up images to work with in this case I will assume the grade is on the low end to be safe.
