    Opinions wanted on this coin, I see weird toning potentially due to a cleaning, some pitting and the distinctive hit on the reverse of upper left of the eagles breast. I could see this one going either way but more experienced eyes, what is your opinion?

    The 9 and 2 look odd.

    Classic fatty devices, classic Beijing toning.

    It has been pulled. It was a modern Chinese fake.

    And yet the seller has 100% positive feedback, and nothing in the description indicates this is replica. He is trying to sell Chinese crap as genuine. EBay doesn't do enough to discourage this practice.

    Looks like someone informed the seller and they removed it. Good for them.

    I didn't like the numerals in the date, especially the 1. The rev is pretty rough and granular, with tiny raised bumps in the fields. No bueno!

    Here are photos of it, saved and cropped, so that the site members can see one more Chinese fake.

    Really looks artificially aged.
