    Picked this one up years ago working at a pawn shop. Boss wouldn't buy world silver, and I was skeptical of Chinese coins I wasn't familar with, but thought $20 for a pair was worth the risk. Passed sigma test, score.

    Dark patina with golden luster throughout. Slight wear on high points, maybe would grade AU if it wasn't for the damn damage on the back (the other coin has the same dremel scratch mark). Gold toning borders the reverse wreath.

    Looks OK to me, on a gut check, though I know these are widely counterfeited and lack the skills to detect all but the most crude counterfeits.

    20 bucks a pair? Not a lot of downside risk there. Looks like a win, maybe. A big win, if that's the real deal.

    Looks ok to me, doesn't look like a counterfeit.

    For $20 a pair that would be a huge win.

    Hope its real OP. Send it off to get graded. The chinese are actually making the fakes out of real silver so that they pass tests and sigma machines
