Third is some kind of cash , looks like empire era. Will have to see the other side. The center is some type of charm. We will need to see better pics of both sides to be sure.

Hello David, What simple on-site basic test(s) could a potential buyer perform on this 3rd coin to ensure that it authentic before paying for it? Also is this 3rd coin a Y# 253 minted in 1908? Thanks mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 8:04 pm try matching up the picture with the ones on this site, http://en.numista.com/catalogue/chi...pire-31.html There are some light marks in the center of the coin, I cannot tell if those are the "manchu" characters or not?
