    Can someone help me to identify these coins?
    Are they fakes or genuine??

    At least you are very conscious that fakes abound in this series.
    Unfortunately, with way too little experience, I can't pick 'em, either.

    Thanks for your comments. I am new to this forum.
    #1 coin is a Bao Dai Thong Bao and weights 26.40g.
    #2 coin is a Minh Mang Thong Bao Year 14 (1833) and weights 25.0g.
    #3 coin is aThieu Tri Thong Bao and weights 26.6g.
    I suspect #1 and #2 are fakes as weights are not right and I do hope that #3 is a genuine one.

    I also have a Thieu Tri 10 Lang Banana silver bar. Can anyone comment on this.
    Sorry for the poor scan quality and no scale to weight it.

    I also have quite a large collections of Japanese Meiji Silver Yens, Spainish globe pillar 8Rs, US trade dollars and Indochina piastres. Anyone interest to see?

    Grainy surfaces + highly faked = Most likely fake.

    I know I looked at a few while in Vietnamese market while in country. Most were copies and that was Years Ago.
    Not an expert just my 2¢
