Is this an example of a replaced slabbed coin?

Send him a question and ask if he pictured the wrong coin. Ask him to send a pic of correct coin. If not then yes its a scam.

My eyes are wacky at this age, my right eye doesn't see what my left eye does, so often I see double.

But I don't see anything doubled in this coin! And I didn't see a VDB either.

I was just going to email the seller (they might have purchased a bunch of coins and didn't realize this one was "off"), but the auction was ended early. Probably an honest mistake.

condition looks pretty Bad also.

the company "prestigeamericancoins" (looks legit) but I didn't Research Them. I think it was an Honest Error by the Photographer or person setting up the ad

Here is their Latest add & the Double Die on the 19 Is obvious also

The DDO looks very weak and the VDB looks very questionable.. not sure I've ever seen the VDB look that big or that far off

What really Makes me think is, They Labeled it a DDO
but they didn't add a note that it's an off center VDB ?
