It's a counterfeit. Is it magnetic? If so, there's no further need to discuss. If you did buy this cheap, I guess you asked for it. A genuine...
Jolumoga, I have to disagree with your advice for many reasons. Avoiding buying coins from China is not helpful as you are just putting a bias...
I honestly do not think it's dated 1905. Instead it's 1906 as it's Gwangmu year 10. Value wise - difficult. I think while it doesn't look...
