Ya lost me. The bottom listing is only a replica. Top one is original. Did I miss something?

The first one is fake, and began life recently as the second one, not in 1793.

many ebay coins are not what they seem.

ebay collectible markets are full of frauds. Here's somebody trying to get 10k+ for an item worth $15 tops:

somebody has a similar deal with a $15 coin listed at over 80K reserve.

Here's the 82.5k attempted scam. The item is genuine, but very common.

Did you report this to ebay to try and save some unlucky schmuck?

 

[Doug]

It's his own associates bidding on it. If real its worth no more than 2k. I can't prove it's fake, but I'm 99% sure it was made from the replica. I didn't report it. Much of the stuff on ebay is outright fake, altered, overgraded, deceptively photographed etc.
