Due to some very crap images I can't tell much about the reverse on this one?
So, I took to the obverse. Look how off the 9's are formed in the date, the second one the loop curls in way to far, the tails of both are poorly formed.
What else?

    The crappy pictures make this one hard to absolutely tell for sure. The 9's could be from circulation hits but can't tell 100%. The S mintmark may be a bit too high for die pair #4 though.

    zero feedback. unreliable pics, i'd report it on principle. it is a seller's responsibility to provide sufficient info/pics and what we have here is a situation where 99.9% it is fraud. on the .01% it is legit, well, welcome to commerce in the counterfeit age buddy.

    I should also mention that the tone (color) of this coin is a bit common to other China counterfeits I've found, that is to sa, it has what looks to be possibly chemically induced tone for the appearance of being AGED (????)
