Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 5:19 pm I have received a large collection of asian / Chinese coins. I unfortunately have no knowledge of the coins. They were purchased from an estate in which the collector had owned a coin shop in the 1980's & 1990's. They had said he sold the majority of his collection before his passing. I will be posting quite a few more Chinese coins. This coin was in a envelope marked "Kwang-Tung 3&6 50 cent Y-202" I was wondering about the authenticity of this coin as well as date / variety info & approx value. Majority of coins have been in brown paper envelopes for who knows how long. I was able to test on my sigma metalytics machine and showed as silver. Diameter of the coin is 33.4mm. Does not stick to a magnet. I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? Report this Post to the Staff

Book says 13.5 grams. I would guess a fake would attempt to be a higher grade - this one I would call Fine. The overall look is right to me - perhaps a cleaning at one time. I don't know of any varieties for this one other than chop marks. Report this Post to the Staff
