That coin is almost too good to be true, but I am NOT an expert on these, or anything else for that matter, so please wait for more opinions.

Did you buy that coin? If so, what did the seller tell you about it?

 

The denticles look wrong and way toi detailed. I'm guessing a polished fake.
What does it weigh and dimensions?

 

I do know that that coin in that condition would be very much worth faking.

 

Thank you. That’s kind of what I’m thinking too especially because it is uncertified. I appreciate your time. I don’t own the coin but I was considering it. It looks way too circulated for a coin of that caliber.

 

there's a lot of really good fakes coming from asia .. such as


if you look closely at those denticles on the reverse ..
also the 3rd down look at the edge





See how the denticles vary from top to bottom and left to right. I'd guess and say It's based on a fake reverse die that was slightly rolled in the manufacturing process.
I'd say that coin is fake.

versus a real one

 

I always feel skeptical buying something I'm unsure of its authenticity without it being 3rd party graded. Great info thanks for sharing
