China coin grading service? This seller is legit. I have bought several notes from him in the last few years. https://m.ebay.com/itm/Early-Halves-USA-Philadelphia-50-Cents-1835-VF-Silver/372423459192?hash=item56b62b0178:g:lKYAAOSwn4VbjAUL

Never heard of them.
Looks like a knockoff of an NGC holder so it is very deceiving.
Lets hope NGC goes after them, they are infringing on NGC brand equity by copying their holder.

They do look deceitful.

China coin grading service. Oh yea I trust them.
The listing says coin ships from Hong Kong. The sellers feedback shows their location as U
Yikes !!!
I would be scared to mess with that coin
HAPPY COLLECTING
For twenty bucks I'd take a chance just to have it in hand and study it
Confusians say, man who buy coin from China get Shanghaied.
Crappy Coin Grading Service
Well I'll be darned.... A Chinese coin grading service, grading U.S. coins.... If indeed they are real U.S. coins.... and if it is a real service. It could be, however, I will wait and see what transpires....I am sure PCGS is not concerned at this point....

With all the counterfeit holders (and coins) besieging collectors today, I would have to say "RUN AWAY RUN AWAY"

Not vouching for this company at all... not familiar with them and I'd avoid anything in an XF holder being sold as a VF in general even if the coin is genuine. Other countries do have legitimate grading companies of their own now though, including France and Russia, that deal with worldwide coins and appear to be solid on authenticity and grading. Only stands to reason that China would have at least one major legit company as well, given the population and the market being ripe with voids to fill. The coin appears genuine to me and I'd also pull the trigger at the right price to examine it as @DontTellTheWife said.
Edit: Also wanted to add that I do vouch for this particular ebay seller and their integrity. No affiliation, but years of observation.
Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff
