Maybe there was a typo and he meant germ rather than gem. Or, more likely, he is not a coin person and is totally clueless.

Ok so the seller is using the stock info that you can choose to fill his listing as the information is not for the coin being sold. The coin being sold is very worn and has been polished and not worth anywhere what the seller is asking. It may be a real IHC but it is not a PR66 coin. Stay away from it.
To answer your question, yes, it is real. It is just not properly described.
