    It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay you for it. You could probably look up the book prices of all these spam posts quicker than it takes you to type them
     
  9. This is not a spam post. I research the values of all these coins before I post for 10 minutes its really hard to find a value because ngc price isnt accurate

    might i suggest you start using eBay's advanced search feature, and look at sold listings, instead of coming to here with every coin you find to make other people do it for you?

    I'm 99.999% certain that you have counterfeits. 1892 5 yang is quite scarce at the low mintage of under 20,000 and 1893 1 whan survival figure is estimated to be at just 77. If you bought them off from ebay - they are worth scrap metal, unlikely to have any silver in them.

    Do post a photo
     
  12. I already did that saw only 1 of it sold and it was the wrong grade so please stop accusing me of not doing my research before posting

    You are asking about coins where genuine examples are rarely seen anywhere, but modern fakes of them are all over and had flooded ebay for a few years up until maybe 2 years ago. Researching them is always a good idea, but if you're not familiar with how to identify the counterfeit versions, then research will not help.

    Posting photos of your coins will provide better idea of the authenticity. Otherwise they are very unlikely to be genuine at this point of time.

    [QUOTE = "gxseries, příspěvek: 2875438, člen: 4373"] Jsem si jistý, že máte 99,999% jistotu, že máte padělky. 1892 5 yang je poměrně málo na nízké ražby pod 20 000 a 1893 1 o tom, že číslo přežití se odhaduje na pouhých 77. Pokud jste je koupili z eBay - stojí za to kovový šrot, je nepravděpodobné, že by v nich měl stříbro.

    I don't understand the language but from the pics, this is not genuine and not struck in silver.

    This is easily a 4 figure coin. If you bought it cheap, it should be an alarm bell gone off.

    I don't collect foreign coins but they are worth 5 yang each in Korea. :)
