I don't like it to be honest.

I don't like it, maybe a cast.

Maybe from China?

That seller's name is familiar.

I bought a real coin from this seller once. But once in a while I do see questinable items from him.
This one might be real. I do see mount marks on both sides, so why would anybody cast a problem coin.
On the other hand, mount marks could be there for that exact reason, to make us think it is real.

I don't like it.

The surfaces are granular and the details are mushy. I doubt authenticity, but could be wrong.

"sorry, returns not accepted" fine print. enough said. keep away.

I did not notice who the seller was before. This guy is very busy on eBay. Often he sells very nice coins, sometimes suspect ones.

I also noticed him buying coins that look suspicious and those that are sold as replicas. In fact I recently saw him by a Paul 1 rouble copy. I'm not saying that that's the one, but my suspicions are raised.

I missed that fine print. Good observation and reasonable recommendation.

Also, it's a private auction - another bad sign.

My opinion -- 99% cast fake, with 1% chance of a coin from a fire. Bubbles all over the place.
