Nice, you have a real dollar coin.

These coins are usually faked.

Actually, sorry to break your happiness,

But I can't guarantee it's real. I guess you can say I'm 60% confident it's real, and I've been authenticating Chinese coins for a long time.

Hello,
What you think about this coin?
I can buy this, but I am not sure it is genuine.
Thanks,
David

​Does it cost much less than its value? If it does, 99% sure it is fake.
