Wide AM on Ebay

I'm just starting to get into wide AM coins and spotted the one below on Ebay. Is this a mistake or is this how a wide AM is supposed to look?

I cannot tell from the photos, too blurry.

I cannot tell from the photos, too blurry. Search on here for good photos of wide AM's and ask for clearer photos from seller. These are not very hard to find and always remember you can pass, there will be others for you - that you can be sure of!

I don't think the seller is listing it as Bu.
