1914 1 yuan

My comment was in response to the above, coupled with the coins pictured in the link you provided:

http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=97582

Go back to that link and look at the 2-4 o'clock area of the left coin, and the 9-11 o'clock area of the coin on the right. The dentils in those areas look pretty much like circular dots, and the thin lines in between are virtually invisible.

I wasn't taking exception to your contention that the coin could be fake. Of course it could. Just saying that wear, tarnish and residue around the rim, shadows, poor lighting and soft focus combine to make it extremely difficult to make a visual determination based on what the OP has provided.

Only the OP can see it clearly. We have provided info that the OP can use to see if their coin is fake or not. No one is saying definitively that it's fake, we are simply explaining what would tell a person examining it whether it is fake or not.

 

hey all, so to answer questions, i paid 50 dollars exactly.. i also forgot to mention the coin has a cartwheel effect when in right lighting, among all that it has a nice luster when in hand. thanks again!

 

Did you ever weigh & measure the coin?

This dollar might show luster/cartwheel in hand but I don't think it is real:

LOL this is a contender for the most messed up fake coin listing I have seen this month.

 

39 mm, as for weight i need a working scale.

 

Most jewelry stores & cash-for-gold stores have accurate scales. If you ask nicely, then they would probably weigh the raw coin for you (they might enjoy the coin education as well).

The weight of a real coin is listed as 26.4000 grams. (That's right, the Krause catalog put three zeros after the 26.4). You should probably weigh your coin to the nearest 1/100th of a gram (xx.xx grams). If your coin is accurately weighed & the weight is reported here, then we can discuss this coin further.
