Very handy magnifying glass as your mouse over, you might be able to pick out some differences if there are any. Check the measurements and weights as well. You can see the Patina in the ones shown on a few different grades of coin, if it is real then it has likely been cleaned which would certainly devalue the coin a bit.

There's something about the metal that doesn't look right, even for a cleaned coin. It may also be the photo but the lettering, especially the 'O' in 'ONE' seems off. The other obvious thing is that finding an example in MS quality like this is more than difficult, at least trying to find pictures online in any case.

Hopefully not an AliExpress jobbie.

Is this a game or a genuine question? 😉

I would say that it has been poorly dipped at some stage, or over dipped ,which leaves it the dull grey in the pictures you see,

this however could tone down again depending on how long you keep it for should you buy, at least from the pictures it's not been polished which is irreparable damage, dipping will have removed any of the remaining lustre ,and left a halo effect around the areas where the toning was the best like the stars.

if you are thinking of buying I would ask for more pictures in different lights, and also

ask about the line that runs down to the foot,(not sure if that should be there , as not really versed on these coins).
