Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 4:46 pm Anyone an expert on Chinese Provincial coins? I think this is Kiangnan 10 Cents Y142a.4 but there is no photo in the catalog (or online?) to reference. I arrived at 142a.4 by process of elimination. Can anyone confirm/correct? Thanks!

Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 5:06 pm @jay1234, I'm certainly not an expert, but are you sure your 7.2 Candareens coin isn't from 1898 AD? That would make it either Y142a or Y142a.1, depending on the size of the rosettes: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22794.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 5:52 pm @Spence: 142a has small rosettes and these are definitely large. 142a.1 is closer but the rosettes don't seem to match. I found a photo of 142a.1 here: http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/K...nts_Y-142a.1 That's why I'm looking for a photo of 142a.4 as it seems to be the only other description that could match. @Crazyb0 why are you asking if it's fake?

Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 10:47 pm @Albert - What makes you think the coin is fake? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 10:52 pm @jay, not sure on fake vs. real, but I'm still stuck on the date of this coin. Yours seems like it must be 1898 and therefore must be either Y142a or Y142a.1. In order for it to be a Y142a.4, the date would have to be 1900. Or am I missing something?

wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 11:07 pm The year of this coin is 1898 (#25098;#25100; on the coin indicated). The coin looks real to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 2:40 pm I think it's fake and I often don't reply to pictures alone. But I will on this one. I have many coins like this. The color, the fat lumpy characters, the irregular parts found on portions of the letters. The circles of irregular and missing beads all look a lot like the poorer quality fakes I have. A poorly made cast fake looks like this coin instead of a genuine coin struck with steel dies. Report this Post to the Staff
