I am not prepared to accuse this bar of being counterfeit, but when compared to the known genuine example on allengelhard.com with just the naked eye, there are a couple things that stand out to me.
Let's just say it's questionable enough that I wont be bidding.
Maybe someone who has more expertise can say I'm wrong, which I would glad to be in this case.

To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.

I was in the hunt until $400. The last three bidders pushed the item to $536. Based on their feedback score two of the three highest bidders are known collectors.
The top logo example offered on ebay is uncommon but similar examples without the "+" after the "999" are earlier and more desirable.

The overall color and the first E in Engelhard not lining up compared to the example on aehard.com was what made me suspect it.
