Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 4:16 pm 1821 and the size of a nickel might be a little off, but it looks like a common H 22.552 Measure to see if it is closer to 26 or 22 mm If it is the same coin showing both sides then the rim width makes my wonder if I'm comparing it to the right coin in the book Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 7:22 pm Decades ago, I bought about 200 Chinese cash coins at 20 Cents each. I really had no idea what I was buying, but at that price, it made no difference to me if they were fake or not. The diameter varied a bit. Some were brassy looking, most were bronze Forward 20 years. I had an opportunity to research them all, and arrange them in date order, from Tang to Ch'ing. They all turned out to be genuine.

AlfredG Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 3:56 pm Not always, you just have to know your stuff. I bought a Chinese coin for 20 bucks when it's worth 500 usd on ebay. You just need to have the expertise to find the authentic ones. This is a skill that takes a long time to master. Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 08:30 am I'm not doubting that at all Alfred. Years of expertise I certainly don't have. Nice pick up on that Chinese $20 coin. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
