This one seems fake to me also. Here is the link to VV for comparison http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20D...O%201969-S.htm .
The I in LIBERTY on this one is not separated from the L and B evenly for one thing.

This coin has several red flags. Stay away.

There were no bids and the auction ended... To me the 2nd rev image looks like a sand cast all kinds of pits... I also noticed that the 1st rev image appears to be a different coin then the 2nd rev image... On the 1st rev image ONE CENT is really weak and the top of the N of CENTs east vertical bar appears broken... The 2nd image the ONE CENT is stronger and the N is not broken???

I start with a glance, nothing scientific. To me the fields look flat, the motto looks small and his expression looks too cheerful and the bust size looks off.
Interesting to see an overlay and see if that's true but my glance thinks it's off.
The real ones do have an odd expression because the doubling got his mouth but that one still looks too cheerful for me.
Like Jim said, in the one pic the rev looks very weak.
