Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 2:30 pm I have not seen enough of these to say, since I work mainly with Chinese made fake dollars. Here is some data if it helps any. The 10 cent piece runs from 2.7g on average with a high of 2.8 and a low of 2.5 The 20 cent piece runs from 5.3g on average with a high of 5.4 and a low of 4.5 I'll try to put up a photo of my genuine 20 cent coin to compare. By the way, my counterfeit coin is exactly right diameter and thickness, but 3.97 grams as well as not being silver. Edited by Albert 06/09/2017 9:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 3:10 pm Both look fine... don't know dating/characters to know if these are supposed to be "better" pieces, but Kwang-Tung minors are of course rather common as a type. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 10:03 pm Took me 6 hours to get what you are talking about Bump111! Old age, v-e-r-y s-l-o-o-o-w! Justin, yes both do look ok, all I could find was this, dated 1909-1911 as a 20 cent, think other is $1.00 same date range, no pix Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 10:04 pm I tried to edit these old pics of the genuine that were made some time ago before I had better equipment. I was forced to remove color for better results. By the way, the fake I have looks pretty bad and your coin looks much closer to this genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
Justinokay Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 10:49 pm Thanks everyone. The 7.2 candareens sold before I bought it but I did buy the bottom one. I'll make a post about it when I receive it. Edited by Justinokay 06/09/2017 10:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
