I can't be completely sure from the photos but it looks like the one. He only searched 500 coins and found more than one. That scares me.

Looks like a wide AM to me, but it is blurry. Probably just a wide AM. Do you think it is a counterfeit?

Looks like a wide to me. The guy went through 500 coins. He should be exhausted. It's in the right regoin though. He's got no feedback too.

The initials are too close too.

The initals are the key. I don't even look at the AM anymore. I can tell from the initial with the naked eye. Those initials are close to the building. Close initials equals wide AM.

The potential for this being a scam is very high. Even if it were a 1992-D wide AM (which I doubt it is [two different coins used, maybe]), the reliability of this seller is questionable. With one feedback, PayPal will give you $200.00 back if it is a scam; your loss is $750.00 if it is not the real thing.

Bad pictures, wishy-washy story, no feedbacks and there you have it, the potential for a sizable loss.

Which reminds me. Mike Byers puts out a web publication called errorcoinnews.com. This latest issue is fantastic and a must see. It does cover some of the scams that are/have taken place on E-bay and the prices obtained for these phony, garage made coins.
