Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 05/02/2017 07:49 am Good day all, A friend of mine when to Thailand and brought me back some coins. One of them, the 1908 Baht coin I am sure is fake, but just want to make sure. The second coin is the 1908 French Indo-China Piastre De Commerce coin. While I would love for the Indo-China to be real, I am not getting too confident or excited with my assessment until someone checks it out. It doesn't stick to a magnet (neither of them do) and it has that pushing slide feeling on my magnet that I ripped from a speaker. The Piastre De Commerce coin is 39mm and the Baht coin is just around 30mm. Below are the pics: Edited by Lembafc 05/02/2017 07:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
