I know this is a commonly counterfeited coin, and this looks mint state. Should be at least $2500 in ms. Is this a counterfeit?

You are right. Not genuine

Hello gxseries,

Could you teach us how you came to this conclusion?

I see the diameter is about 0.3mm large, weight is close to target, outer rim (outside of the outer teeth) looks wide, and on the reverse face at the bottom of the design the space between the stems and lowest foliage seems to large. Are these observations correct and/or important?

The beads surrounding the dragon are bigger than usual, it should be smaller and sharper and the one in the link show some touching, the strike overall looks flat and weaker from genuine ones I seen.

The color and details are just wrong.

Look at what else the seller is offering. What a great bargain if they are genuine
