Definitely not genuine. If this was genuine, it's easily a 4-5 figure coin. Most of the coins were crudely struck and are relatively scarce.

Here's an example that sold recently http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-China-...em20c1e09c44

That's what I figured.
I picked it up years ago for a few dollars. Now gotta figure out what to do with it...

What about this coin?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...t_500wt_1202

Do you think it is fake or real? How can you tell?

Thanks!

In the least, it should be a big red flag that the seller doesn't even bother to identify the coin.
I suspect the MO is to look like a complete rube, so a bidder believes they've stumbled across something rare.

These are not my expertise but both of these just look wrong. Color, Cuds, fake wear. I would not buy this as genuine.

Definitely fake.

There's really no such thing as a free lunch.
When you see coins of this rarity at that kind of price, and the seller is from the China/nearby area, it's a 99.9% chance that it's fake.
