Looks fake to me and not a very good one. I have an 1800 dollar and it doesn't look like that one.

Everything about the coin that you picture is obviously wrong. It is not genuine, (despite what the seller 'confirms').

That piece of junk oozes fake. Stick with CERTIFIED coins that have been authenticated when buying high-priced and rare material.

I'd want to know what dealer authenticated this piece so I could stay FAR FAR away from him. He is either COMPLETELY clueless (In which case you might be able to cherrypick him) or his material is probably loaded with fakes (In which case maybe you DON'T want to cherrypick him.)
Rest in Peace

Yep they always put the price low for a real coin to attract some eager person but enough to make substantial money over time...

There should be a law against this type of activity. Especially when it's an obvious fake and being passed as an authentic or "real" coin.

There are laws against this, but they can't enforce them against the Chinese effectively.
