Wow, I never knew we had so many numismatic experts here!  I just Copy and Pasted the photos from ebay as it is the same type of coin as mine, and no photos I was able to take with my iphone came out very well, there were always shadows in it somewhere.

That's not my ebay auction.

I could try again later to take better photos, maybe outside in shaded daylight so it looks more even for light and dark areas.

And if anyone feels I am selling it too cheaply, I will be happy to accept more for it!  I figured I'd price it at a level where even if it comes out low on the grading scale, the buyer doesn't lose money on it.

RedGummyBear - L2Spell.  "poured" has a letter "u" in it.  You wrote "pored".

Djjacket - you L2Spell too.  In your case, "pour" should be "poor".

But you shouldn't be posting on threads while driving...

Must have hit a nerve if the spelling police had to come out!

Seriously, post the actual pics of the coin and I bet some here would be interested...

quiet naive considering these coins could be worth up to 15k as you stated in your first post.

So a pic of the actual coin is pretty important.

None all coins are the same...condition makes no differences.   Roll Eyes

An 1893 coin is an 1893 coin, how many differences can there be?

I just looked at a few new quarters in my car's change tray, they look pretty much the same to me.

So you are trying to sell a coin...but used a random eBay picture?  I would recommend escrow big time if you trade with this guy...This looks scammy as hell.

Time to tag op as a scammer?
I'm not sure if he knows it's fake or not.  But he has it listed on ebay too.

Of course he knows it a fake, otherwise you would grade it and sell for 10X the asking price.
Another possibility is that the Op borrowed the pics from Ebay and doesn't even have the coin.

Yes this is the exact same coin on Ebay same poured die with Extra ridges.

Same Pictures from this ebay listing - be careful sending any payment unless you can prove they are the the same seller.  Most likely not considering the story posted in this listing is not a Coin Store.

I went ahead and tried to report it on ebay as a fake coin - not sure ebay will act on it to save some pour informed person from buying a fake coin...  Thanks for the analysis of the pictures.  

If the OP is not the one selling on ebay, they picked a crappy image to based their scam off of  Cheesy

 Arrows 1-4 show an extra amount of ridges Arrow #1 is a good example of a pored die. Notice Arrow #5 starts back smooth like a normal ridge would be.   This is chinese made and simply putting it on a scale would show the weight is not accurate.

No one would sell a $10,000 ungraded coin for $1,500 in BTC I would be able to make a fortune off this coin if it were real.

I have reason to believe that this is pure speculation, even darkcoin payment accepted

This is a very Nice Replica. Chinese made. If you spend the $40 to have it graded you will see when they confiscate it. A rare coin like this one in this condition would be over $10,000    It makes a nice conversation piece.

Can you tell it's a replica by looking at it or are you assuming based on the condition? I have a few similar coins with equal amount of wear (very little) but more patina.

I acquired mine 20 years ago.
