However, the one in Krause has ".999Ag 1oz" beneath the dragon; your coin doesn't have that. I suspect it's a fake, sorry. 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
sakura Valued Member Malaysia 59 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 11:56 pm I believe the coin is genuine. There're varieties of this coin. Yours doesn't have the silver fineness stated and is from Shenyang Mint. This variety has proof-like BU surface with mintage of 80,000 and is 0.999 silver. The Proof with silver fineness stated is from Shanghai Mint. The listing in Krause is not complete. Report this Post to the Staff

Questions have no definite answers. Sir Sakura, thank you for the variety reminders; I will take note of that and place your name as the one who has identified it as belonging to the Shenyang mint. Merry Christmas to you both. Report this Post to the Staff
