D-Train Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 12:59 am Hi guys, I bought 4 coins on ebay that were supposedly from China-Tibet, but after looking through my 2016 Krauss Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000, I looked at the coins from China (Peoples Republic), China (Republic), China (Empire), Japan, Tibet, etc. and can not find 3 of these coins. Here are some photos. Any help identifying these coins would be appreciated. All are ~45mm in diameter. Coin 1 obverse? Coin 1 reverse? Coin 2 obverse? Coin 2 reverse? Coin 3 obverse? Coin 3 reverse? As you can see, none of the coins have any recognizable characters unless you speak Chinese or Japanese? Whatever they are, even if they prove to be worthless, I think they are all pretty cool! Thanks guys! Report this Post to the Staff

Have you applied a magnet to these pieces? Often times, they are plated steel, but others are non-magnetic. If you can, you could try to get your money back.

D-Train Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 2:41 pm Hi guys, thanks for the responses. No, no mention of the word "silver" in the listings. Here is the title for coin #1: China Coin Dollar - Ancient Coin - Diameter: 45mm - World Coin (#26-B) Tibet The other coins had the same title, other than what's in between the ( ) As far as getting my money back goes, I only paid $7.50 each with free shipping and they are worth that to me, even as novelty coins. I appreciate knowing what I bought though. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
