I'd love someone with some knowledge than I (that won't take much, as I'm just starting on these) to let me know what they think. Report this Post to the Staff

If it is genuine, the price would be good, at around $1000. It was minted in 1662, diameter is 48mm. Hope this information is useful to you. Report this Post to the Staff
jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 08:22 am $1000 is way off for a common coin. I'd put the price at US$3 for an acceptable BOR Kangxi. Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 09:05 am Any other thoughts on the genuine or not side of things? The characters look so different on my example. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 511 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 11:59 pm I don't see any reason to be suspicious of the coin. There are many minor variations in calligraphy. There is also a wide variation in the quality of manufacture. Some are very sharp and well defined while others are soft or muddy. Depending on the economy at the time, they might be made to a different size and weight, or with a different alloy. I agree with your interpretation of Kang Hsi and Boo Yuwan, and would personally just leave it at that. Report this Post to the Staff
