Obvious fake. States it used to reside in a PCGS XF Details holder, but i'm willing to put money on that being a lie. Also mentions Great Collection @ianrussell and that it was for sale there in 2017. I'm sure if there was a genuine PCGS XF Details for sale through GC it was not this horrible fake.

Not a lot of time left to take it down, but do the right thing and report it. Who are these 27 bidders?

Here are the images from the listing vs some original XF examples:

    The auction closed at $13,600 but the last 3 bidders seem to be all shills (top one with 1k+ bids all with Centsless in the last 30 days). The last legitimate bidder bowed-out at $9,600.

    I don't get it - did he really think it's an authentic lotus Dollar and worth $50k+ or is he just creating a sale record at $13,600?

    In any case, doesn't look like anyone got taken advantage of. Yet.
