snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 06/23/2012 08:37 am Sorry, but the second coin (a French Indo-China Piastre) is a fake. The wheat stalks on the the obverse side (with Liberty) are wrong, the detail on liberty's face is wrong and the rope behind liberty does not have the proper detail or placement. Here is a coin for comparison: http://www.ebay.com/itm/French-Indo...t_500wt_1361 Report this Post to the Staff

It appears to be a combination of Chinese and Japanese designs. The second is a fake- details and dots do not match. I think the third is good. Report this Post to the Staff
