Hello. Let me start by saying Thanks! for looking at my posting. I need some help. I am in the process of purchasing a coin collection from a friend but need some help with this coin. I need to know exactly which type this coin is so I can make him a fair offer on it. I think it may be a y 247.2? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

I think there may be 8 varieties for this coin and my images are not very good in my books. So it's hard to tell for me. But if genuine I think it's at least a ballpark $100 coin more or less, so find out what is a fair price acceptable to both parties. I'm looking at that P and R on Province and I regret my sources do not show lettering well enough to compare.

If genuine, this is not a mere 100 dollar coin. A damaged example was sold for more than this a while back. I suspect this is worth more than 400+ to the right person.

Sorry, I look up a reference book for old Chinese silver coin, it really present. But it present only sample strikes, never circulated. Very very expensive if real.

I believe this actually did circulate. Here was one that was sold - more than what I expected to be honest.

Thank you all for your input! It is greatly appreciated. My friend and I have discussed sending it in for grading and authentication and then going from there.
