<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 8441346, member: 4373&quot;]Picked up a 50 cents which is actually a much harder denomination to find compared to the other denominations. This would be the third province that I have, Yunnan being the easiest followed by Kwangtung. The rest are hard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Technical weight of this is meant to be 13.5g and 33mm. I believe that coins from this era do have quality control issues so there are small variations in weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin in doubt is in top left.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://gxseries.com/ct/50c_comparsion1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://gxseries.com/ct/50c_comparsion2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://gxseries.com/ct/50c_edge.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Weight of the 5 are as follow:</p><p><br /></p><p>Hupeh (top left): 12.55g</p><p>Hupeh (top right): 13.49g</p><p>Kwangtung: 13.40g</p><p>Yunnan (left): 13.54g</p><p>Yunnan (right): 13.27g</p><p><br /></p><p>Edge does seem to be odd. The questionable coin is also 1mm smaller which can be seen when I held the coins on a flat surface. These are arranged by the order mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
