Hello Friends :)
I was roaming around the streets of eBay and found some of these coins of East India Company Victorian Era...

Have A Look I am thinking of buying one of these:

Are they original? The seller looks okay too... Share your thoughts

thanks in advance

My main concern would be the price. The value of this coin in XF is $500 (32000 Rupees). Selling it so far below the value would make me wonder. Then again, if you can afford to risk it, it may be worth taking a chance on these.
And the seller seems to be selling 2 IDENTICAL coins ... something is definitely smelling fishy there /!\/!\

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
The seller doesn't seem to understand what "rare" means.

He also has four of these coin listed using the same photo. You are probably going to get some nasty Chinese fake rather than the coin pictured.
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

Does It Looks Okay? The Edge.... Sometimes it helps maybe? :`

Reeded edging is a piece of cake for Chinese forgeries nowadays, so edge isn't much use. It will all come down to dimensions and weight, possibly with a density test just to make sure.

I think if the seller has four separate listings using the exact same photo, as pnightingale said, you should absolutely walk away from this listing without a second thought.
