I just found these coins and I have no idea what they are or how old they are. I looked on ebay but had no luck finding the year or value. Here are three different coins: #1.http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/jamespasto/DSCN0043.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/jamespasto/DSCN0044.jpg #2.http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/jamespasto/DSCN0045.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/jamespasto/DSCN0046.jpg #3. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/jamespasto/DSCN0047.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/jamespasto/DSCN0048.jpg I have 4 other coins so I was hoping someone could help me. I would appreciate any advice...
Coin 1 is a 1919 "Fat Man" dollar. The bust on the obverse is of Yuan Shih Kai Coin 2 is a 1934 "Junk" dollar. Obverse - Sun Yat Sen Coin 3 is a 1908 dollar (7 mace & 2 candareens) struck at Chin Mint (Peiyang Arsenal) Tientsin, Chili Province Impossible to give a value without checking the coins for authenticity - there are millions of replicas around.
Thank you so much. I have another post with more coins. Is it possible for you to look at them too? How can you tell if they are authentic? How much would these be worth if real?
The last two are definitely counterfeit. The easiest test is, if they are all magnetic, they are all counterfeit. Next if they aren't counterfeit, they have to weight at least 26 grams. If not, not genuine either because they would have used nickel-copper alloy which looks similar to silver. Of course there are tougher counterfeits out there but this is still easy to spot.
