    Must have been a BIN. Something doesn't look right, but I'm not used to shiney coins or anything above MS-65, so my opinion means nothing. Hmmmmmm 70?

    One of the worst fakes I have ever seen, and a fake holder to boot! :yack:

    I can't make out much detail from the pictures but this is from the NGC website. Also, the feathers on the mamma eagle's wing tips seem IMO wrong.

    I agree with the holder and coin being fake.Based on those facts the sale price makes perfect cents!!;)it was probably de-listed by ebay but still shows up as if sold.They have been getting better by using true certification numbers on fake holders but the coin is pretty easy to notice still otherwise.

    My biggest red flag is the seller has few coins in their listings.

    The throat and the feather combing down to the breast. Did it actually sell? Is it gold? Did someone on here actually BUY it?

    Fake and not even a good one! :D Somebody with terrible eyesight or a dumb bell person might buy it, all it takes is one idiot to buy it and the seller makes money on a fake. That said, it may be made of gold but I doubt it, just saying some counterfeits use real gold. :cigar: Oh, I just realized it sold! :D

    Just curious, if the TPGs are alerted to fakes or potential fakes, do they contact Ebay or in some way try to verify the coin as genuine?
