piratelou New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 5:11 pm English writing on the obverse side reads "Tai-Ching-Ti-Kuo Silver Coin". I don't know if it's real either. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Unfortunately, as you can see from the pic on the NGC page, genuine coins of this type are just as crudely designed as yours is, so just looking at it isn't going to be of much help in verifying authenticity. One quick test for you: does it stick to a magnet? If it does, then it's definitely 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

piratelou New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 4:20 pm I would just like to mention that this "coin" failed the magnet test. Therefore a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
