Yandi New Member Australia 5 Posts	Posted 07/15/2024 04:01 am I have this 1927 (i think) republic of China silver coin, and there is a spelling mistake "OE" instead of "OF". I'm wondering is this significant at all and legitimate? The second silver coin I have no information on and can't find any similar images anywhere. Is it legimate? And just wondering on estimated prices for them aswell thanks. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * * Edited by Staff to crop/rotate/resize images.

I think the first coin is trying to look like the 1912 dollar. Try running a magnet over them. Often, but not always, fakes are magnet. Report this Post to the Staff
