I'm convinced that it's not genuine. The edge just looks wrong.
It's probably too late to start in Chinese numismatics unless you've got deep pockets. Even some of the base metal coins are starting to command...
Yup I'm quite certain it's genuine. Well done! Believe it's easily a 50 dollar coin give and take.
I am certain it is genuine. Can you please post a photo of the edge?
It's a one year type. Many of these were melted down during WWII as war metal. Still common but not truckloads like ancient Chinese cash coins....

Korea needs a wake up call and move on. It is stuck behind the times. I acknowledge that WWII has caused severe hardship and yet continue to...
It is 100% fake Siberian man!!! Coins were not very circular back then. Poor details and look at the eyes of the Empress! Looks sad!!!
Novodel is essentially a restrike but some modifications are allowed. This is neither. It's just a replica. I wouldn't pay a single cent for it.

I'm not a gold person but this eagle spoke out to me. Didn't really think too much about it when I bought it and am doing some research. No...
