Consider the source.

JadeRareCoin

Horrible coin. It has been heavily cleaned (or even tooled) to probably remove corrosion, then amateurishly recolored.

That's not the sad thing. The really sad thing is that it has been bid up to $560 with over a day to go. Then consider the seller's following language:

As all coin dealers know, coin grading is subjective. To the best of our ability, we will give honest opinions on grading. We will also try to give you very detailed pictures of every coin. Please bid on your opinion not ours.

Yet a reputable seller can list the exact same coin, call it cleaned and recolored, NET EF, and it will not even fetch $100.

I see some possible shill bidding action, too.

Probably the only way to get eBay to kill the auction would be for GSC to not turn over private information demanded by eBay during an investigation into a rumor that their account was hijacked.

Shake-n-bake?

Shame.

There are some nice die breaks on it.

AuldFartte

Cleaned, plus there are too many hits on the cheek to make 65, IMO.
