hc8604 Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 02:25 am It is the 5th year of the Republic of China = 1916 and it is a one yuan. No one yuans were made in 1916 so it must be a fake. I don't think any were copper maybe a pattern? But as with many Chinese dollars it is fake. Report this Post to the Staff

On this one, the silvery wash or paint originally applied to it has clearly worn away, except in the hard-to-reach places. 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 11:15 pm It's a counterfeit Fatman Dollar. I believe it's made of brass and applied with a thin layer of silver. Year is 3, not 5. The spotting on the character made it look like 5. :) Report this Post to the Staff

monster Valued Member United States 414 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 09:08 am If you don't know Chinese old sliver coins, don't buy the raw coins. There are so many fakes. Yours are those very easy to tell and there are some that can't be easily determined by experts. If you like Chinese old sliver, I recommend you only buy PCGS or NGC certified ones.
