X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 07:24 am Bought this one today for approx US $0.60 Is this one genuine? Would be fun if so, I don't think I've ever seen a genuine Chinese silver coin. Edited by X2an 04/19/2015 07:25 am Report this Post to the Staff

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 07:28 am I am in no way qualified to answer your question, but I look forward to learning something about this coin. If someone forced me to make a guess, I would be concerned about the grainy surface. Next, I might base my decision on the information I could get about the seller. I can't wait for the experts to arrive. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 07:32 am Forgot to mention: It rings like silver, the actual colour is much more silver-like and the light is blast-white. It is not magnetic and weights 3 grams according to my household scale that measures whole grams. Also, the seller was an unknowing (and uncaring) flea market seller. He had several other coins on display that were old, but none looked fake. Some were more common, but he sold mostly old European coppers.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 09:53 am It looks genuine to me. Definitely worth more than 60 cents - perhaps more in the range of 20 dollars. Its weight should be around 2.6 - 2.7 grams.

wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 10:06 am The coin looks genuine to me but it is definitely much cheaper than expected by your price US$0.60. US$6-10 is more likely. This is a low-priced coin so it does not attract the forgers to make fake of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 11:24 am I dunno - every time I see a coin like this it's always fake, so I doubt it's genuine in the first place. Nice to hear it's worth more. I picked it up thinking "Hey, why not?". This is why I go to flea markets Report this Post to the Staff
