Meiji year 28, but it is a modern fake. Sorry. Your trained eye is universal, which is always nice to have. You were suspicious even without...
Looks like a love token, is it quarter size? Most likely worth more than a normal coin in that grade.
You could and always can sell Cuban coins on eBay, just don't use the word "Cuba" in your title or description. Even if someone reports you they...
Chris, why even bother? :)
Horribly obvious fakes. What do you think the seller would say about it? :rolleyes:...
It's a very nice coin, but not worth getting it slabbed. These are not really that hot on the market unless you get a key date or a nice UNC...
An unfortunately true reality about my people.
I can't imagine they have anywhere near enough gold to balance such a huge and sudden devaluation. We are talking dollar amounts in the trillions...

Plenty of dealers throw these coins in their scrap silver coin piles (well, except for the 8 reales). I have dozens of the 20'-40's 50 centavo/1...
Hm interesting. I can only guess that perhaps they used the same master die, just changed the second half of the date and sharpened up the first half.
Glad to help, variety attribution can be very frustrating :)
The incomplete top loop underlying the 0 is a clincher. Never really noticed the split serifs on the other dates, but I don't usually look too...
Fantasy coins from non-existing places :)
Nice example of a die on its last breath :dead:
Separate names with a comma.
