Hard to say. Could be.

Cool coin!!!

Any Rub on the high points??

The crown looks good.

Close enough I'd say. (from the mediocre pics)

That seller does have more than a few other coins I'd strongly disagree with though.. but this one looks decent.

The lettering on the other side looks rubbed.

English side or Chinese side?

I've an 1863 1 mil in BU somewhere... I'll try to ferret it out for comparisons...

Chinese side & the bottom of the square looks worn. Might be my monitor, not the greatest pictures.

OK, just made it to the end of his listings.. a lot of nice stuff. Some awesome BU coins. One or two I might like myself. But the guy clearly doesn't know how to grade. He's got a good eye for BU, not bad on Uncs, but his XF in more cases than not are VF- on a good day.

Best I can do with it! Nice coin!

Maybe. On this type of coin, AUs and UNCs are rather difficult since there's so little to judge from.

It is hard to grade a coin like that from a photo. The only thing to go by is the little crown, which looks like it may have a little rub (but could also be weak strike) and to judge if there are any breaks in luster (which you would need to see the coin in person to determine).
