It's a tourist souvenir set. For 2 dollars, you can't go wrong. Even the face value of the coins are close to a dollar. Can't quite remember how...
Ok here are some results: Average weight range of 1 yang (1892 - 1898): 5.3g. Ranged from 5.19g to 5.52g. As of why the range is so large, I...
Did someone try to slice the coin in half? What does the obverse and reverse look like?
You might have an interested buyer so don't just throw them out yet. They don't look like replicas so they might be worth something. I noticed...
Numismat - the weight of silver coins are actually dependent on the province where they were struck at. Most silver coins from that era were...
Restrikes are quite obvious as the details are much sharper. If I recall correctly, they were struck on plated steel. You can see why I hate...
I would be 'blown up' to own one of these beautiful examples! Thanks for sharing!
To makes things even more complicated, I checked my records of what the weight of my 1 yang coins are. They are all over the place, ranging from...
@Numismat - will try to find better photos. I don't have the coin on hand so I will have to find photos of what I took a decade ago. From memory,...
Found it - hate to see duplicates of good threads https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-empire-of-china-coin.271423/
I'm pretty sure there was a thread a while back. @britannia40 - do you recall where it is?
What do you think of this? I could never make up my mind on this. I bought it as ex-jewellery pretty cheap more than a decade ago [img]
I have been doing some research and just cannot find enough information for what I am looking for. I'm looking at Sun Yat Sen coinage from 1936...
iPen, thanks for the link. I will contact numista. That figure cannot be correct as proof coins of this era are extremely rare. I am sorry to be...
That said, I'm curious to know where you got your mintage figures? The total mintage of this coin is 19,923. Very few proofs were struck - no...
I'm leaning towards fake. What is the weight and can you show a photo of the edge? This if genuine is easily a four figure coin.
I guess there's no rule stating that you must have coins of similar grade put together. You can have coins all the way from P-01 up to PF70 if...
Wow fantastic! Never knew something like this existed. Maybe it's the pioneer for creating plated steel coins. Canadian mint exports multi ply...
You can always make a digital coin album - solves a lot of drama as I understand you do not want to crack slabs just to fill the holes.
You got to realize that this 10 sen coin is somewhat a tiny coin to work with. I believe it's roughly the size of a dime.
