PLEASE READ THIS AMAZING STORY!

Ok so my brother and my mom were shopping at a shop in China town, when they saw a box full of huge coins. They bought them for about a dollar each. They brought them home and I gasped. I wondered if they were silver. The very left isnt silver and it’s a Chinese coin, but i don’t know the date or it’s worth. The middle is a phillipeans coin as a celebration of a national hero of some sort and it’s date is, 1863 - 1963. It is cintenial. And lastly, the one on the far left, (remember that my mom bought these for a dollar or two and I ran some tests and they are authentic), it is a Chinese ancient coin, worth......... THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Wow. well I hope you enjoyed my short little story and have a good day.

Note the difference in the dragon's scales. As @furryfrog02 pointed out, it is fake. Sorry.

 

Bummer

 

I could not tell you anything about them unfortunatly nor have i ever seen them type,but that coin with dragon is the coolest coin i have ever seen love it.i will have to check out them type now

 

The one on the right could be legitimate. The catalogued replica is made of steel and the one you have appears to be from silver.

China 1919 1 Yuan. The person portrayed is Yuan Shikai, who if memory serves, was the second president of China when the nationalists were in power, turned military dictator who declared himself emperor (died 3 years after).

However, the coin is one commonly counterfeited in China

Could you weigh the coin and see how close it is to 26.4g? Could you also measure the diameter and thickness and post a photo of the coin's edge?

 

Do you like them? Do you think they are cool? I do.

 

hate to rain down on your parade but I would bet most of the stuff is fake. I'll give you 3 reasons

1. Chinatown. Known to sell fakes and you think they will sell a rare coin for 1 dollar each? Most likely they bought them from alibaba.
2. Look at #1
3. Look at #1 once again.

 

They all can be had on Alibaba. Check out the hundreds of US coins for sale on their site. But know you are not buying the real deal.

 

And also keep in mind that, if you buy any of them, even just to study on your own, you're becoming part of the problem. The more people buy them, the more the counterfeiters will make.

 

So, just for this post, is top=left or is bottom=left?

 

Careful with the political content there, buddy.

 

It's actually the Philippines.. not phillipeans

 

I never read stories to which I directed by a title in all capital letters, the word "Amazing", and an exclamation point. It's just trying too hard.

 

All fake you got scammed.

 

Unfortunately that’s how this younger generation has learned to communicate and get noticed. Way of the future.

 

I get Rolex watches in China Town on a regular basis, and I get them real cheap........Those Rolex's that they sell at the jewelry store are way overpriced.........

 

The only way this title could have been worse, is if it said "Sponsored".
