I instantly had a bad feeling about this just because of the overall appearance. Other than what's been mentioned the rim looks absolutely terrible.

Some of those Chinese fakes are not supposed to look perfect. Some of them were deliberately produced as copies, and were originally sold by the manufacturer as such.

Same thing with copies of ancient coins sold to tourists, where you can quite easily go to jail for selling genuine heritage artifacts out of the Country of origin. In this case, it is better to make an object look like a coin, but on close examination easily proves to be a copy only.
