spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/11/2017 04:06 am This is not my area but, I think it's fake. It has the fake look and for some reason doesn't match characters to the real Y#31: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1291703 I'm no good with Chinese characters but, compare the dragon's mouth of yours and the NGC example I linked to.

bsteve74 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 11/11/2017 04:15 am The coloration is what made me suspicious in the first place and I am trying to do diagnostic with photos a friend sent me which is even tougher. Report this Post to the Staff

bsteve74 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 11/11/2017 10:47 am Thanks to everyone for confirming what I expected. I do not normally collect or deal with Chinese coins just for that reason. Definitely not my forte! I did know that the good folks here would be able to help. Thanks again for the confirmation! Report this Post to the Staff
