I personally was thinking VF20 or so, but I wanted some more opinions.

Thanks!

Obverse: Stone/scroll details, reverse: motto and eagle have issues, lower part of reverse shows pitting with small bubbles and a large defect in the legend, ugly gray cast-coin color, my vote is 100% pure counterfeit. Seller's feedback is less than good.

Looks completely authentic to me. Nice original surfaces and the fields aren't clean from nicks/scratches.

VF-20, wear and color look natural.

I see that the "Seller does not offer returns," so proceed with caution.

Authentic, VF25.

Unless you are beyond 100% sure that the coin is a counterfeit, you really should not suggest that it is without at least some doubt, as paralyse did. The coin in question has stone-cold original surfaces, not "ugly grey cast-coin color". The defects mentioned are wear, for the most part, and maybe a bit of strike weakness. The reverse looks normal to me, I do not know what paralyse sees.

The seller has one negative and no neutrals over the past year, for something that is not a coin, out of 102 total feedbacks.

The seller has also sold coins in the recent past, and has other coins for sale, and all appear to be authentic examples.

If you're looking for a VF type coin, this is a nice example. The no returns is somewhat concerning, but the pictures are good enough to determine the coin is likely a problem-free VF, and I am sure that if you opened a case for SNAD, the seller would work to make you happy.
