Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 02:01 am Looks like silver wash over copper, thus making it counterfeit. Has the appearance of a contemporary rather than modern counterfeit, but that is sometimes the case with even newer replicas from this region.. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 08:20 am I just noticed that this is a rare and expensive date. With that knowledge in hand I feel this is a more recent replica. Report this Post to the Staff

cableguy815 Valued Member United States 414 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 11:48 am Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I doubt this coin has any history besides whatever Chinese heritage it carries. This is an forgery of a key date (many of these around), nothing more. Report this Post to the Staff
