They dont even bother to make it look "antiqued"

It does look harshly cleaned though ...

This little bit is priceless:
"It is extremely rare to have the high degree collects and keep the worth a work! The opportunity that do not miss the winning it."

Yes, we have plenty the rare and the fine, and at the every opportunity we will do you over and over ...

I like this part in the Payment : "I will immediately send you coins once I get your money"

Oh boy, you surely got my money with this coin

So does that mean that coin is cleaned ?

No it's a counterfeit. Coins that are coming out from China - 80+% of them, or rather, "rare" European coins, chances are that 99% are fakes.

What is more ironic is that the username means "For the better future"

Yea right

<chances are that 99% are fakes.

yeah, they got a hoard of imperial russian coins waiting us there.

I tried to buy some of this garbage when I was in China last spring, but while I could talk the prices down on real stuff, like Chinese coins, I could never get them to come down on the fake garbage. So no 1923 Morgan Dollars and 1978 Peace Dollars.

Is it actually silver or led covered in copper and then silvered?

These are usually some base metal, mixes of zinc, lead etc. Remember these are budget operations, with profit in mind, silver would be much much too expensive.
