Hello everyone,
As you may have guessed, I don't know for sure if this 1911 Chinese dollar is a genuine piece. Any help would be great.

I bought the coin at my local coin shop here in the UK. My trusted coin dealer didn't know if it was genuine so got it for a very nice discount. Good guy just only really does UK / hammered / bullion coins.
Coin info:

Cleaned :(

It is silver #9989;

Weight is 26.51g - supposed to weigh 26.9g but since it's a VF ISH coin I think that's okay. Morgan dollars for example lose 0.25g per condition band ie XF -> VF

Diameter is 39mm #9989;

Looks milled because of the die crack on pic 3... So hopefully not a transfer die

Many thanks for your precious time!

Looks real but the high grade fakes for this type are rampant and even if real NGC will sometimes not grade them...

Thanks for the replies,
Just wanted to see if there was anything blatantly wrong before I send it off to NGC and waste another £50. I guess I will send it off with the next batch of stuff and post an update in 6 months or whenever NGC stops picking their nose lol.
