I thought not but seller indicated that they have had it checked and determined to be authentic.

    I'd say fake. When you see pictures shot at odd angles and from far away, RUN, don't walk away. The first two shots of the obverse look really bad.

    Why take a chance on a pig in a poke when you can buy a certified coin for not much more?

    Undoubtedly fake. I might even be able to narrow down who manufactured it, those features look familiar.
