<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claw, post: 63137, member: 3699&quot;]I have recently expanded my area of collecting. I have been looking at the Scalloped or flower shaped Chinese lunar coins. Ya , I know, buying from the enemy. I actually bought the 98 tiger and the 2000 dragon from kellys coins.Mainly because of there&nbsp; mintage 6800 total pieces each year, with the gold series mintages being much lower. My idea was to put this set together to sell back to the enemy at a profit of course. I was very curious one night and examined both of my coins. I noticed&nbsp; many small fibers under the sealed plastic. So i did the unthinkable. Yes i cut it out. It looked like the fibers were part of the coin so i just had to see. Turns out that they were just fibers. What i did notice,was a crease on the edge of the coin. Kinda like two separate pieces were put together and then&nbsp; sanded to get rid of the line. Butonly leaving a small portion of this line. My question is is this a common counterfeit?It has the so called&nbsp; O.G.P . Which that would not be a problem to copy. The coin is supposed to weigh 2/3 of a troy ounce. My memory is not what it used to be . I forget exactly how much a troy ounce weighs. </p><p>Any ways, i weighed the coin on a handheld scale .Approximately 21 g.</p><p>Could this be a fake or badly made coin.Im sorry , i have no ability to post a pic. Beautiful coins but my advice is to stay away.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I would appreciate any comments&nbsp; concerning these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks a bunch&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CLAW.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
