I generally have a rule that says "don't bid on an auction where the english description is not understandable by people who speak english".

YEAH RIGHT!!!
1. It's a raw coin.
2. It's from China.
3. It's on eBay.
4. The pictures are not clear.
5. It's being sold with an attractive opening bid price.
6. Seller has feedback for basically low-value items.
7. Seller has more of the same type of coins for sale.
Based on these 7 factors, I think I will pass on this auction. The 1847 picture is too unclear to be conclusive, but IMO the other 3 Seated dollars being sold by this seller are not genuine.

The question marks are characters from double-byte Asian languages which western browsers and systems, mostly with single-byte character sets, can't decipher and display.
I deal with this on my job all the time when we get comments from Asian customers on some systems not configured to display them properly and which don't have Chinese, Korean and Japanese language support enabled.

So the buyer will lose the $20 shipping (which is nonrefundable in this auction) and hopefully will get a refund for the rest of it? No thanks.
