ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 12:49 am Looking to know whether these are real or fakes? Since there isn't enough information online and that these coin have relative little value to get a dealer/numismatics involved would like a second opinion on these. Thank you Coin one; Tested non magnetic (weak magnet tho) weight 4gram Coin two; Tested non-magnetic (weak magnet tho) weight 4gram Coin three: Tested non-magnetic (weak magnet tho), feels like its might be fake but of a period fake (copper mix low silver), weight 24 grams Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 11:26 am All of these issues have been so commonly forged that they should be presumptively regarded as fake until proven otherwise. I'd like to see better closeup shots of the Yuan Shikai dollar since genuine examples of these aren't uncommon and the weight's in the right range (although I'm wondering if its thickness hasn't been enhanced to get it there), but it looks rather as if there's some sort of base metal core showing through, especially on the reverse - if so, that'd be obvious evidence that it's bogus, no second opinion needed.

paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 12:41 pm There is a reason why certified slabs are popular for coins, and this is one of them. Don't buy anything sourced from China, raw or graded. Report this Post to the Staff
