Interesting !!!
Too many "red" flags fellow travellers.
The serif on the F or OF is the same as on the counterfeits made from the holed and repaired example seen in the last couple years.

The photos are still there for me. Looks like a completed sale.
Another example, this one supposedly sold on ebay last month by someone out of Oklahoma: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1898-Double-Eagle-20-Expert-Says-Highest-Known-Grade-GEM-Uncirculated-Look-no-/192638617733?hash=item2cda280885:g:L1EAAOSw4cBbg1HD&nma=true&si=nWdT%2FT3q34QMruVEWkUeJrqnmOE%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
The seller was shut down as you can see from all the unhappy "buyers".
The same coin blasted off last night on ebay, this time in Bluefield, WV: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1898-Double-Eagle-BU-20-rare-Dollar-Liberty-Gold-Possibly-Nicest-Known-Piece-/292764903277?hash=item442a25e76d:g:uMgAAOSw9w1bvXR3&nma=true&si=RMMnllXwf0ap9KDue3fwBGyXkew%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Hard to know what is going on with this.
