[QUOTE="Coinfreak1996, post: 2845905, member: 40693"]Damn, these coins seem like a tough nut to crack. Speaking from my own experience, I'm pretty sure they are silver coins. I compared these 2 to pictures of the real thing and the details match for the most part (except some worn letters, can also be from weak dies). On the other hand is the fact that the chinese have mastered their skill of producing forgeries of these types of silver coins. If I had to rely on my gut feeling, which hasn't failed me in 98% percent of the time and my overly sceptical caution when it comes to genuity of silver coins, I would say they are real. But I will bring them to an expert for an appraisal and tell you guys how it went. Thanks for your answers and I know that judging a coin's authenticity (especially when it's chinese!!) can be hard just from pictures. So thank you guys for your advice :)[/QUOTE]
