Opinions wanted on an 1826 Capped Bust Half listing

This was posted to another forum with concerns about the coin being authentic. I don't know enough about these to say either way and would appreciate opinions from anyone who does. Thanks!

Even if it is real, its by no means problem free. Cleaned/polished, or perhaps a fake.

Very good photo, you can't tell much about that coin!

If you don't care for that one, how about this yummy Trade Dollar?

BT-666 has been discussed here before. Looks like toolhaus has some info on him too. Basically, he's a seller to avoid.

Later date Bust halves are waay too common to ever think about buying one like that...pass

Thanks everyone for the help. The OP on the other forum wasn't interested in buying this coin. He said he had a problem with another coin he had bought previously from this seller, thought this was not genuine, and wanted to make sure. I knew the seller ID sounded familiar but I forgot about the other thread until doh posted the link. It sounds like the general consensus is the coin is probably genuine but still has problems. The Trade Dollar in the link that kaz posted almost makes the one I asked about look good.
