This one has got me. Seems to be a 20 cent but all of the KM #'s that I looked at show symbols on the reverse and a different symbol on the obverse (second one from the left) Portrait looks the same as a few other KM's. Coin seems to be silver. 24 m.m., about 20.6 grams. Others I saw were dated 1914. Any info on this one appreciated. Images are scans. Detail much better in hand and color in hand is more silver like. Thanks http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums...d0b7a6a7.jpghttp://i1020.photobucket.com/albums...824aa684.jpg |

Oh, Thank you for the info.
Sure looks like a 20 cent like the others I saw (same size also) but not having the upper reverse symbols like those.

Hope it's worth at least the $2.00 that I payed for it. LOL

Not "one cash", but one dollar (or "one yuan"). And sorry, but at 20.6 grams, it's definitely not genuine. Too lightweight. Here are the stats for the 20 cent coin with this design; 5.4 grams, 23mm diameter. Dollar coins are supposed to be bigger, 39mm and 26 grams. And no, no "year 4" dollars were made, that I can tell. 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

Thanks Sap
Re did my figures. It's 23.5 m.m. on my calipers
and 20.03 on the scale. Only silver plated. Can see
a tiny tad of copper color only on the low part on some of the reeding but the coin is highly magnetic. Weird but still kinda cool. Wonder what the base metal/metals are on it being
copper colored but very magnetic. Coin is also in the medal position. Never saw one like this before. Why even bother a counterfeit on it anyway ? Oh well, good conversation piece.
Thanks again.

Don't feel bad, I've seen these fake Fat Man Dollars going for about $5. I've even met someone who collects these Chinese fakes and fantasies.

Naw, not over a couple of bucks. I know someone who collects fake 8 reales. He also pays pretty well for holed ones if the hole is at 6 o'clock instead of 12 Go figure ? Maybe i'll get the silver off of it and then buff it to a super gleam then drill it for a medal. $5.00 easy for it with a cheap chain at the flea market. Maybe even $10.00  |
