    Hello Folks,

    Been looking forward to this Chinese auction (held in Germany) (Via Sixbid) for about three weeks or so. Most of the coins I had researched went for 10 times what I had expected so the four coins I did end up getting were less than well researched, so hope I did OK.

    Links posted.....so perhaps the Chinese numismatists might give me some good, reasonable or bad news.......or perhaps some of each. http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/...inzHu-PehLinGwoMing182Yeoman1271chopmarks.jpg

    Marbury, They are very nice. Do you have any information regarding this coin? I know it is a 1912 Yuan but I do not know the value or rariety. 000_0089.jpg 000_0093.jpg

    Sorry.....my knowledge on Chinese coins is limited to trying to check values of specific coins to bid on......I'm sure a Chinese authority will pick up on both our coins...........all the best.....marbury

    marbury's coins all look genuine to me. Even with the chopmark, the crown size coins should command easily over 100USD. The kwangtung 20 cents, maybe 10-20 dollars. Congratulations.

    coinlooker - yours unfortunately is not genuine.
