I just saw this 1893-s dollar on eBay. Looks fishy to me. Scan is hard to see, but when you zoom in on it, it looks way undergraded. A 40 shouldn't have luster or that much detail. The type on the PCGS insert looks weird also. The seller is new too - 0 feedback rating. I really hope someone didn't bid $25,000 on it for real. I think its a Chinese fake. What do you all think? It's up for auction right now.

I think a legit coin like that wouldn't be in an ebay auction, but in a real high end coin auction instead.

It is fake, added mint mark and a fake pcgs slab. The font is off and where it says $1 should say S$1
