Hard to tell if it may be real or not. Is that clash of the Shield aroung Miss Liberty's ear? I edited the pics and attatched them! I hope that show a little better detail and condition!

I have no doubt it's real since it's in a Top Three slab. When it arrives I'll probably break it out and save the documentation like I usually do. Thanks for taking a look.

I couldn't believe it hadn't been scooped up especially after it had been listed since the 4th of July. It was listed in the Ebay stores section which might have shielded it from the usual coin sharks.
