Papasquirrel1 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 12:10 am Today I found this 1912 French Indo-China 10 cent coin. I know it has silver in it, but otherwise I am unsure of the value. Also, I was taking a look at the date and it looks a bit strange to me. Like the 19 is misaligned with the 12. Am I just seeing things, or is that fairly common maybe? Report this Post to the Staff

Yours says .680 so most likely is a fake. These coins are notorious for counterfiets. I myself have bought about 12 of them of all denominations and only two ended up being real. Good thing I got them for cheap. Report this Post to the Staff
Papasquirrel1 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 01:18 am Poop. You're probably right. I checked the weight and it only weighs 2.43. I also have a 1909 20 cent one that is alos probably a fake then, it also says .680. Well, at least I got them out of pocket change and didnt have to pay anything for them.
