I've owned a few and it looks okay to me via those pics. Caveat: not my series.

Looks real and it may slab with a straight grade. Hard to tell if it's been cleaned or not from those pics.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Looks real to me too, just has that washed out scanned look. Could be a pretty nice coin
Agree, looks real, but I would not get too generous with an offer.

Why not just get it graded?

EBay offers a new service where for a fee, NGC will evaluate the authenticity of an EBAY LISTING. So you can have someone evaluate the authenticity BEFORE you buy the coin

True, but it’s not guaranteed. And in the case of this coin, it looks as if there’s a free, adequate consensus that it’s genuine. Add me to that consensus.

Agree with Mark as usual but you still have to decide if it's been cleaned or otherwise messed with based on those pics.

If you are considering bidding on it, you may have brought on more competition. Never draw attention to a lot you are thinking of bidding on.
