I can understand below average pictures with a point and shoot camer or something less than porfessional, but this looks like its an x-ray scan of a coin in a mule's stomach.

It's a black-and-white image from a scanner with a piece of paper over the slab. The seller would have had to start the auction at $245 if he had to buy a digital camera!
If a coin has problems, sellers sometimes purposely make the pics out of forcus to hide the problems. If the other items that he has for sale have fairly clear pics, that should tell you something.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
It is odd though how some coins sell for a premium based on a poor photo as all it takes are two battling it out on the hopes the 'reveal' is much, much more in hand.

...must really be a funky scanner.
