Can you tell us the diameter? Also, can please you redo the pictures from square on so we can have a better view of the lettering.

Wish I could. The pics are actually snips taken from original pictures. I sent an email asking for some more direct pics as well as the diameter. I'll see what he says. Thanks Spookie!

Wow, thanks sujit_kumar! I know  that the person selling it is in China, and he got it in Afghanistan. I think I see a pattern developing here.

I use this rule: If an item I valuable, and it is coming from China, Do not buy. I have never received a legitimate item from any seller on Ebay that is in China, claiming to be a valuable or semi valuable coin.  It's a terrible way to think, but it is what I have to do to save my own $. (This is for Ebay)
