avaldivia New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 01:00 am This is a 1907 French Indo-China Twenty Cent coin. The problem I have is that there is no coin of this make from 1907 in my book. Secondly I also can not find the reverse side to match? Please provide any information you can to clarify. Thank you for your time and effort as always! Report this Post to the Staff

jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 10:57 am I don't know. Krause does not list a 1907 that I can find either. They do seem to show this obverse/reverse for 1906 and 1908, if I read my book correctly. Edited by jgfindring 02/08/2012 10:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
vb3347 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 12:30 pm I remember seeing another 1907 up for sale a while ago, so maybe it's real but Krause (not being the benchmark of perfection) forgot to list it. Check the weight, it should be 5.4 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

I know you're new, but you should do some searching and stuff before saying it. Be more specific in your responses. No need to offend you though, anyways avaladivia and nicwinner Edited by Apollo 02/08/2012 8:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Stan Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 8:11 pm It is definitely a fake. There are no reputable sources that list a 1907-A minting. Very odd that someone would counterfeit a nonexistent coin. Report this Post to the Staff
maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 3:55 pm Did you check the exact weight or for a small 'Made in China' label? The privy marks look very bizarre. Some Chinese fakes picture years that do not exist for the type. Maybe to make it seem even more rare or because of complete lack of knowledge of the counterfeiter? Report this Post to the Staff
