DBH...something looks funny

Why does the obverse look odd on this coin? Is it genuine?

    I agree...

    IMO, The spacing between "PCGS F15" and "Draped Bust" is very off.

    Images are shot at a angle. Throws in distortion.

    The obverse rim looks fake to me...kinda like a beaded rim or something.

    Why is the slab label white?

    To me it looks like a properly graded, authentic DBH. Sometimes the flash on one's camera can distort the color of a picture. These coins seem to be bringing stronger prices every day.

    Cert # checks out....looks fine to me. Could be the flash and angle as other have said.

    Hawaii - I've been there and I'm pretty sure it is half way to China.

    I'm not an expert, but it just looks a little "off" - the coin and the plastic. Do the bottom 2 stars on the left obs. look funny? I can hardly see the stars on the right.

    I believe this seller can take better pictures, looking at his past auctions.
