I'm no expert on these, but it may be too good to be true. Typically, this coin in this condition would retail for several hundred U.S. dollars. This price would be more typical for a G04 condition.

I'll say VG-10 if genuine.

There are several things about the reverse that I find troubling. The letters are too broad, the arrows are strange, and the berries are too large and flattened. 
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Buying raw US coins in China seems like a risky business (given that it appears to be in a generic holder).

Oh what's the word I'm searching for? The Eagle looks stamped in instead of the other way around. Incuse? I think it's just my eyesight though.

@halfamind Haha the seller also had a 1842-O(large date), and he had intended to sell the two together at a price of 588. I bargained with him for several days and he finally agreed to sell me one. He should not know such coins very well. Most of his stores are Chinese silver coins. I don't think he spent much money on this coin.Thank you! QUAR is quite different.It seems that the rating fee can't be saved.
@Coinfrog Yes! I hope so.I think I'm going to send it to NGC to make sure that it is genuine.(It doesn't have a loop anyway hahaha).Thank you!
@keith12 Yeah I also notice that.Qutie different.I think I will send it to NGC as I receive it. I have contacted my NGC agent .Thank you!
@burfle23 It is a Chinese grading company called GONEBO.The seller promised that even if I opened the coin, it would be authentic, which ensured that I could send it to NGC. Otherwise, it would be a dream to go to Gonebo to settle claims.Thank you!
@Hondo Boguss Thank you for the contrast picture. You are right. I think I can't avoid the rating fee.
@Oldgrouchyguy Yeah,quite strange edge.But I have to prove it is fake so that the dealer will reimburse all my expenses.The dealer admit the results of NGC.Let me bet haha,Thank you!
@kbbpll Most of the counterfeit coins in the world are made by some of us, including American coins. It is difficult to find seated silver coins, let alone fractional coins.(This is an authentication company that mainly authenticates Chinese coins. I don't know why the seller sent this coin to that company. Maybe it was to avoid responsibility, but he also told me that even if the authentication box was opened, it would still be genuine, which was a little strange) Thank you!
@Jimbucks Important information, thank you!
@dsking Do you mean the eagle is concave? Wear is bit strange.Thank you!
Although it is a bit like counterfeit coin, the seller admit the results of NGC. A great study. Thank you very much! I will tell you the grading results.

That's not the only indicator. Aside from engraving differences, the words "QUAR. DOL.", comparison will tell you what you need to know. Unfortunately, yours is counterfeit.
