Howdy fellow coin peeps, :thumb: I ran across this and there are two denticles @ 3 o'clock on the obverse that just don't look right and the rest of the denticles cause me concern also, but the two I mentioned really give me the creeps, cause they are too short and too close together: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Coins_Coins__PCGS-MS-63-China-Empire-Silver-Dollar-SUNSET-TONING_W0QQitemZ250257584891QQddnZCoinsQQadnZCoinsQQddiZ3784QQadiZ4531QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250257584891&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1308 If the coin ain't real, the holder/label ain't either. :hammer: Ribbit
The coin looks good to me. I have seen the 3o'clock denticle 'mark' on 3 separate occasion. I think that is quite common for the 1911 Empire dragon coin.
Wow, definitely looks good. It has everything you'd want to see in a genuine coin. Solid strike, smooth surfaces, a strong and uniform rim without signs of transfer dies... and convincing luster. If it's a counterfeit, it's got to be among the best I've ever seen.
