    There we go. Now we have pictures. I don't know if that is Chinese or not, but definitely fake.

    An obvious fake... and reported to eBay.
    When in doubt, don't.

    "All of his US coins are fakes."

    I don't know. This one looks real image

    Seller claims that his grandfather collected these coins in 1919, and this is the only one ... yet he has two of them.

    no returns, check. backstory of grandpas old coins, check. seller knows nothing about them, check. broken English, check. I know someone here will still bid on these and be up in arms when they turn out to be fake
    regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

    "These coin collect by my grand father and I have only coin now, Don't have any Certification Number box. My grand father will collect in 1919 when he was working with English Army in Mumbai India."

    Interesting - the British soldiers transported BU 1795 US silver dollars with them to India ~1919.....even though British coinage had been widely circulating there for over 100 years.
