If I were able to read Chinese it would have been much easier. 1st coin 2nd coin Thanks Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 05/23/2011 09:04 am Sad to say, but these are both fake Chinese dollars. The top one is rather crudely made - the squiggles in the exact centre are supposed to be Manchu script, but those are just squiggles. Both coins are "supposed" to be silver, but on both coins there's clearly a brassy metal lying underneath a silver coating that has worn away in places. 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
