Justinokay Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 07/13/2017 9:27 pm Just curious how common Chinese Dragon Dollars are in collections among CCF members. Does any CCF member collect Dragon Dollars or has one for sale? Report this Post to the Staff

Numister Pillar of the Community Singapore 631 Posts	Posted 07/14/2017 03:54 am I love Dragon coins but it's a bad time to start - they're expensive and many fakes. Some older collectors told me in the past they were only a few dollars each ! Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/14/2017 09:33 am I concur with the sentiments expressed so far. The current preponderance of modern numismatic forgeries of this type demands a presumption that any you see are phony until demonstrated otherwise. And some of the better executed fakes can on occasion fool even dealers and third party grading services. That sort of peril doesn't make for a particularly fun collecting experience.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/14/2017 12:35 pm I love looking at photos of them, but I agree with the sentiments regarding fakes. I don't think I have ever seen a genuine example posted here, except for certified pieces bought in hard-won auctions by serious collectors in the field. Report this Post to the Staff
Justinokay Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 07/14/2017 4:09 pm Just as I thought. Can't seem to find any that are in my reach,keep running into fakes everywhere in the US. Found one certified PCGS for sale the other day for $400, but out of my reach. The ones I found that were actually affordable are in Canada, which makes it so hard to pay for ( I don't have Paypal)! Starting to lose hope. Why did I even traded off my Dragon Dollars collection back then? Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 06:30 am If you go for smaller denomination coins, they are definitely more affordable. I have been a bit luckier as I started when I noticed Chinese coin prices went up rapidly.

Justinokay Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 07/17/2017 5:36 pm Yeah I tried the smaller denomination but they don't look very interesting besides the 20 cents ones. Update : A deal for a Dragon dollar is underway. I'll find out the provinces from the dealer soon. Report this Post to the Staff
