The seller obviously copied the images from Stacks Bowers website from November 2019 sale.
Everything about the seller and his listing points to the buyer will regret it. Hopefully he’ll get his money back.
Thoughts?

I think you can answer your own question with confidence.
Reported - the seller, not you.😉

I can't tell which is the coin as multiple listings show.
What was sold....what's the unique issue here ?
Feedback of zero. Whoever bought it will probably get their money back from their credit card company when they reverse the charges. It's too bad the seller's wife won't be getting her life-saving surgery.

Scroll down the linked page a bit and you should see an 1838-O half dollar.

I'd offer to pay $3000 and do his wife's surgery for free after he delivered the coin.
But, too bad I'm not a Dr.
New ebay account + high dollar sale = ebay will hold the funds until positive feedback is received.
The buyer should have no problems getting their money back unless they believe that the numismatic Santa Claus delivers in July.
Looks like a legit coin with cropped pics (the seller is obviously not legit) You can see the plastic prongs.
Seems fair, he's not really a coin dealer.

...laughter is medicine. eBay doesn't mind a little poison in their recipe.
They say it's PCGS and CAC but don't show the slab, which of course would help ID it as someone else's coin.
Buyer also has zero feedback. I'm guessing a shill bidder... I'll bet the other bidder gets an offer from the seller...

Ugh, he found the bad part of eBay—just throw the shoes away.
The page shows a seller name more clever than what I see down there,
Maybe AI-guided mitigation there costs less than experts who filter ads. Any jackleg could filter out the pocket change offers to save bandwidth and my time (and the time I waste to boot posting the “funny pages” here.)
No feedback. No returns. High price! Classic example of what to stay far away from.
But, you can bid with confidence!

It’s like playing the Lotto but with no actual down side. That said there can’t be many PCGS SP63 CAC coins out there so it shouldn’t be too hard to find
