Not sure which is a more obvious lie: the coin being naturally toned OR he got all these coins in an inheritance?

Talk about buying a pig in poke!
You can take this to the bank: Bad photography = Bad coin
You can often take this to the bank. Inherited or “from and old estate” = You will get the shaft.
As some here frequently say, “Run, Forest, run!!!
Bad photography hardly equals bad coin. I have bought toners from horrible pics as a gamble and more times than not it has paid off.
The auction images (below) look like a Chemistry Experiment gone wrong was conducted on the surface of this coin...
Strange Spotty Texture that seems to correlate with Liquid Flow Lines (esp on Obverse).
IMO - Looks AT Well-Done Overbaked in the Oven -- Perhaps the Fingerprint to the left of the date on the obverse will help ID the artist!
Below are Images that have been brightness adjusted to reduce some of the overexposure to depict the coin with more clarity, for better observation & further discussion.

There are deals to be found on eBay, but I'm not sure this one is.
That bubbly look has me concerned.
Another ruined 1873 seated dollar, that otherwise perhaps I could have used for my type set.
I wept.
It was an inheritance from his Grandfather, and he has to sell it.
He probably needs to raise the money to be able to afford buying Health Insurance!

A baked POS.

It really looks like a cheese pizza from a low price chain .
Folks are bidding on it. Crazy.
Good luck to you. More often than not I've seen bad pictures used to sell counterfeits. It's a great way to hide problems.
Pure AT rubbish.... Some starry eyed color collector will buy it..... eventually realize they have been conned....Sad story, so often repeated. Cheers, RickO
