The listing was pulled by eBay so it's no longer able to be seen. The eBay experts suspected something fishy also apparently. Does anyone believe it's really in a ANACS 58 holder now? I'd like to see pics of that!!

I meant to post this the other day. After looking at the enlarged photos of the eBay item and the sellers picture, I now realize that things move due to pixelation, degradation, distortion, or whatever it is. The photo you posted that was taken by the winning bidder looks real. However, even when you enlarge his low resolution photo (see below), the relationship of details changes drastically.
The top image below is an enlargement of a high res photo, and the bottom is an enlargement of the low res photo. We now know that both are genuine coins, yet they details look different.
Moral of the story (for me) is to NOT authenticate from photos, especially low quality photos. That was a huge score for the bidder.

ANACS has the most robust authenticators. The numerical grade is a different story.
