<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1300049, member: 15019&quot;]Well the first two are pretty straightforward, a Hupeh province dollar and a Japanese 1 yen. The last pic would be a Fengtien province dollar, which is quite rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>As medoraman already informed you they are all fakes. That is apparent in the difference in details.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the Hupeh dollar - the strike is very weak/flat, which is not what you would see on a genuine one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Japanese yen - some of the spines on the dragon&#039;s back have blunt ends, where they should all have sharp tips. Also some of the rim denticles vary in thickness.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dragon&#039;s face on the Fengtien dollar is depicted all wrong. If a genuine coin was minted with such a representation of the dragon, someone would likely be put to death for it back around the turn of the century.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry you got bad news about these, but they are good reference examples to have to avoid getting more forgeries in the future.</p><p>Also, most modern forgeries are not magnetic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
