mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 09:31 am This Chinese coin was found in a huge world coin collection. It has an 18.58mm diameter and it weighs 2.64 grams. Are there telltale signs on fakes or is getting it graded my only hope? Thanks for any help you can provide. Edited by mds308 02/05/2023 11:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

Can you please provide the exact name of the China(?) province (?) which released this coin in 1926(?)...because I don't find it in the KM''World Coins''catalogue. Also,is it silver? Have you done a magnet test? Thanks! Andi Edited by Andi10 02/06/2023 05:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 09:58 am Thanks to all for your comments. It is nonferrous but it does look like a lower grade silver or it has tarnished with a slight bronze tone. I've added some pictures with it laying next to a Newfoundland .925 silver 10 cent coin. What is the silver content supposed to be for the Dragon & Phoenix coin? Thanks. Edited by mds308 02/06/2023 10:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 2:14 pm It looks genuine. I have a couple of them and weight is within spec. It used to be quite common until prices have gone through the roof for these. Today this is easily a few hundred dollars. Can you please take a photo of the edge just to triple check?
