NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 19050 Posts	Posted 09/18/2026 04:49 am It would be a very strange coin to fake. At the time of issue it had a very low face value (about half a British farthing) and it would seem an unlikely coin for modern Chinese forgers to copy.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 8067 Posts	Posted 09/19/2026 10:55 am Good eye. I'm going to attribute that (the almost-open-at-the-bottom 8 and malnourished 6) to whatever caused the somewhat uneven strike. The 1 is also missing its base, and the denticles down there have less definition than 180 degrees across the obverse, so (my opinion) something caused that side of the obverse, including the bottom of the 1 and 8, to not strike up fully. This one is close to what you see on the 8: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=15391223 I still think it's authentic. Edited by tdziemia 09/19/2026 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
