gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 05/12/2013 01:53 am When you are dealing with Chinese coins especially when it comes to crown size - unless you are extremely lucky or you know what you are buying especially if the price is too cheap, you would be more likely to win the lotto instead of picking up a genuine coin. This is a clearly not genuine - details is a joke and I'm certai it's not silver. If it's magnetic, you know what it's supposed to be.

Fake Chinese coins are being made and shipped to the West, literally by the shipping-container-load. Go down to just about any "Chinese market" and you can find bowlfuls of fake Chinese dollars for sale, for a few dollars each. Coins with spectacularly improbable errors like this mis-spelling are also popularly faked. It's also probable that the Chinese province named in Chinese on the other side of this coin is different to the one named in English on this side; a picture of the other side of your coin would confirm this. The counterfeiters rarely bother matching up the two sides of the coin properly. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 05/12/2013 02:52 am No, they've managed to match this one up correctly. But I'd still agree, it's not genuine - the "details" gxseries mentions are very mushy, typical of modern fakes. And the reverse, though it shows the correct Chinese province name, has been modified from the coinage of another province. Genuine Fungtien dollars look more like this example on zeno.ru. Have you tried a magnet yet? If it sticks to a magnet, it's definitely a steel fake. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
