Welcome to the community.
This coin is without a doubt, counterfeit.
You will not find an genuine 93-S in this condition that is not certified for sale.

Always consider sellers like this as scammers. Always! NEVER buy rare coins that are not graded and when they appear graded make sure the grading holder isn't fake as well. I highly recommend not buying rare coins online when you have to ask if they're fake or not.
