1913s on Ebay?

1913s 25c

I am trying to hope this is real but the mint mark looks a tad too crooked and to much off center doesn't it?

What gets me is I've owned a few of these and the date on this one on Ebay looks REALLY thick letters? The date jumped out to me and screamed "fake" to me.

Thoughts?
I have plans....sometimes

    Personally, it looks good to me just by the pics. If I rotate those pics and lay them with known good ones, the MM and date match. Now, if I was going to bid on it, I'd do a ton more in-depth checking, but I don't see anything that screams fake to me with a quick glance.

    It's the real deal.

    It's a genuine 13-S because of:

    1) The die crack under the ear.
    2) The S mint mark is close to R in Quarter ( Die # 2 )
    3) The reverse right side is not as well stuck as the left.

    # 1 & 3 are the dead give aways.
