Haixham13490 New Member France 6 Posts	Posted 10/16/2021 11:35 am Hello, first of all, thank you for accepting me on your forum. I am an amateur numismatist living in France. (so I use a translator hence my poor English). I acquired about fifteen Asian coins in a lot of coins bought in an auction, about twenty years ago. Can you help me authenticate them? there are so many fakes. I will obviously put one per post. The first: TAI-CHING-TI-KUO SILVER COIN. Diameter: 33mm Weight: 11.1 grams The coin responds to the magnet. Thank you very much Haixham Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/16/2021 1:05 pm @haix, your English is fine and your comment about the number of fakes is very true. I would consider any coin that is supposed to be silver, but is attracted to a magnet to be a fake.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1912 Posts	Posted 10/16/2021 2:08 pm See how the denticles (tooth-like devices around the rim) differ? They appear as beads, then irregular & elongated, then square around the coin. This is common among many lesser quality Chinese fakes. Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1912 Posts	Posted 10/16/2021 2:26 pm Take a good look at the beaded circle. The beads have gaps, they are out of line, they have holes, some are blobs, etc. All common among many lesser quality Chinese fakes. Report this Post to the Staff
