I am speechless. Is this a joke? Comments?

  I don't know? They are wholesalers after all.
  Perhaps it is a branch mint proof?
  It ends in 4 minutes?
  What?

  Perhaps because you don't realize the seller is real, sells real rare coins but makes few sales on ebay so the feedback number is very low. Ebay is used mostly for advertising for him.
  
  There have been other threads about this seller lately and his penchant for crackout upgrades.

  Alright, I've calmed down. I have a couple of the many reasons I couldn't grasp at first. 1. I'm not used to branch proofs being recognized. Only alleged/hinted at. 2. I'm not used to sellers with feedback of 4 selling million dollar coins.

  I collect circulated U.S. silver

  The seller is Steve Contursi. He currently owns The King of Siam set and the Brasher Doubloon. The Branch Mint Proof in the ebay auction is a widget to him.

  There are quite a number of branch mint proofs of various issues that have been authenticated by both NGC and PCGS.
