DeepwaterPaper New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 6:16 pm I received this coin from my elderly neighbor, who was of Chinese origin as a gift. I recently took out the collection she gave me and I googled this coin, and found if real, it can be worth quite a bit. I took it to a coin/fine metal shop and they weighed it at 37.4 grams. I believe it has been cleaned in the past. It has a slight rosy color in white light reflecting off of it. So what do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

I suggest taking it back to the coin/fine metal shop and having them measure the silver content. My expectation is that it will be zero--see this recent CCF thread here for some words of caution. http://goccf.com/t/284256 Also, here is a thread posted by someone else in much the same situation as you: http://goccf.com/t/262236 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
