I'm not sure whether this is rare for that type; in many types clashed dies are common. If this coin is real, it would be worth $$$$ regardless of clashed dies. Those types are heavily counterfeited, usually not in silver. Please check the weight and whether it is magnetic. Report this Post to the Staff

captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 12/16/2023 9:19 pm I think this coin is supposed to have 8 characters at the top of the obverse. I think your copy is missing the date. Some coins don't carry the regnal date, but I can't find one of this denomination that is missing the date. I believe this is a fake coin, although not an obvious one. I've seen these being sold off ebay by a seller in Albania. Here is one of his wares, also has the four character legend at the top of the obverse. https://numis-vlora.com/product/chi...eens-dollar/ Report this Post to the Staff
Mikeyworms Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 12/17/2023 12:15 am I never cleaned the coin- I only have it 2 weeks [It passed the tissue test and PASSED the MAGNETIC Test-------so the question is WHAT SHOULD IT WEIGH? weighs--12.8 Grams Please say the weight is with in the range of REAl COIN? RESPOND -ASAP so I don't stay up all night wondering Thanks so Much--P.S.---I also want to get me $150 back that I paid if its fake--YOU ARE ALL THE BEST Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 12/17/2023 02:05 am The 3 mace 6 candareens example on numista weighs 13.5g. Seen others from other provinces come in at 13.2g. The silver coins from An-Hwei province are extremely rare. Even cleaned or circulated they can command prices in the hundreds and more likely thousands of dollars so the price of 150 is just too good too good to be true. Report this Post to the Staff

Mikeyworms Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 12/18/2023 01:27 am So - I just double checked everything- my little scale is reporting 13 grams even. All other text, tissue, magnet all positive for silver. I watched this coin for 7 days and no body bidding. The auction only had 1 other coin and it was not listed on advertisement page. Mostly all auction items were selling all contents of house of. Last 20 min of Auction only 1 other person bidding on it with me . Person got out at $151 dollar so I got it $152.. I'm going to send in for grading. Worst case, I get back a fake the I go after Auction Ninja for refund . I've been refunded before for fraud so no worries here. SO this is the one time I hope your wrong and pay down up coming Major Medical Bills. -- just please let me know your opinion who I should send for Grading? PCGS, NGC, Etc- would love cheapest one but not if it will hurt my bottom end. Never had a coin slabbed- so this will be my 1st! ---- looking forward to your response ---Regards Mike Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3709 Posts	Posted 12/21/2023 07:20 am Not genuine. No such coin is struck if I recall correctly. The dots around the text as well as the denticles look crude. I would ask for your money back.
