Is this coin a fake or is the photo deceiving?

I know this seller has a reputation for deceitful and horrible photographs, but jeez this photo they have makes the ocin look like its a fake. What do yall think of the granularity and the bumps? is it a fake or just horrible photographs?

    I’m going to say real but the photo does no favors. I think they spent a bit too much time working the photo. It looks like it’s their style, though.

    It makes me wonder why so much of this seller's stuff is raw. He has many slab worthy coins but not many are slabbed. He's also a well known shill artist. Beware!

    It's hard to overgrade a slabbed coin. ;)

    Not as bad as the toning scammers.

    At least with GSC you get what you see for the most part.

    Very cherry pickable some have showed.

    But not nearly as cherrypickable as they used to be. Unfortunately someone has enlightened them.

    I do not like the coin he shows,
    Surface roughness really blows,
    This I'll skip,
    I think a rip,
    That's the way the ebay goes.

    Cheers, RickO
