Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 02/23/2023 6:17 pm Hello and welcome. I'm reasonably sure these are all replicas. The first four pics definitely are replicas. For future pics, it is helpful to post one coin per thread. Or at least front and back pics of each coin, making it clear which pics belong to the same coin. The replica-makers often mis-match obverses and reverses on their replicas. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

JK3338 New Member Singapore 10 Posts	Posted 02/25/2023 12:14 am Thanks, anyone can advise whether these coins look authentic or replica?. These coins are hand me down from my grandpa, could also possibly be replica from donkey years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 02/25/2023 12:51 am They look like replicas. Look like the Kiang Nan is missing the Manchu script. You can compare to this one: https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...5-PCGS-ms-65 Edited by captainmandrake1 02/25/2023 12:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
