If you’re buying from yourself, things are very cheap- spend the money you just paid yourself for the first batch of coin to buy the second, repeat as required to own 51%.
Perhaps thus could be partially circumvented by requiring the sale of all coins to be simultaneous, but a reasonably clever person could use other financial machinery (loans, etc) to avhieve the same effect.

That really only brings things down to my second point, though- the developer just needs to finagle a sizeable amount of cash at one time, with the guarantee of getting it back afterwards even if he doesn't manage to rope in enough marks to double it.
