You know what's ironic if they were to feature global warming on coins? Mining ore from the ground contributes to global warming - lots of...
Speaking of which, I won the last 1 yang coin variety (1898 narrow spaced variety) very recently that I needed for my collection. An upgrade to my...
Yes, I mentioned that it's a fake. I actually got that pretty much for free so I'm not complaining.
I didn't measure the diameter of this coin but it wouldn't fit in a 2x2 no matter how I tried. It was double struck hence it was just flatten to a...
jlblonde - to be honest, Chinese counterfeiters couldn't care less. As long as they get a buck, that's all it matters regardless of death penalty....
Tried to collect one of each that features the Russian Tsars / Tsarinas. Much easier said than done to be honest - give it a shot if you think...
Give ebay a shot and see how they normally sell for. I wouldn't hold my breath - not expecting the price to be enough for you to retire. :)
Both jlbonde. There are known fantasy issues but they were produced by mint 'officially'. This however is obviously not a product from the...

Spot on Taxidermist. This is actually an overdate 1812 / 1 with reengraved mintmaster from MF over FG. Quite neat to be honest - while it might...
Here's one photo with better details: [img]
This is the coin: [img] If you can't figure it out, the answer is out in the internet.
Wouldn't hurt to use ebay's completed listings to see if any similar coins were sold in the past. Yes, some will rant about prices are out of...
Obvious fantasy - these coins were never struck in "5 yuan" denomination.
Here's my 2 cents - it doesn't matter how high prices rise during a recession. If people can't afford it, they just can't. It's not that hard....
I forgot to ask - what is the exact weight of them in grams? Please post with two digit figures if possible. Edge wise, it looks ok but I still...
