scott3270 Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 04/30/2009 11:39 pm my grandfather was given these by a friend at work who got them at a yard sale. I am pretty sure they are chinese. I think they are probably fake because to me any coin that comes from there is fake until proven other wise I know the pictures aren't great but it is as good as I can get them. do you think they are fake? I think they are supposed to be silver but to me they dont have that silver sound. thanks for the help. Edited by Sap 05/02/2009 01:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/30/2009 11:42 pm They are Chinese, but sadly fake. The color itself is already off. Coin on second pic, right doesn't exist (if the reverse is the dragon) because there were no portraits of people on Chinese coins until the Fat man and Sun Yat Sen dollars. And... the other one with the border is just a momento m'thinks. Edited by wd1040 04/30/2009 11:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
scott3270 Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 04/30/2009 11:59 pm yes it does have a dragon on the reverse. they just didn't feel right to me even though it is the first time I have seen these. plus each of the coins are either slightly bigger or smaller than each other. actually the color is pretty consistent on all the coins my camera made them look more off then they are. do you know if they were supposed to be made of silver?
