[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 7808836, member: 105282"]Thanks for everyone's responses! You've all been very helpful :) I would like to send it to PCGS, but wouldn't know where to start. I'm also in the UK, where coin grading isn't widely available. I'll have to look into getting PCGS grading it My friend found it in a house clearance, and they are also in the UK. I believe they said they found it under a floorboard. I'll have a go with that metal composition test, and will post the results :) Thanks for your input! I agree the details that are missing is strange. However, the area with less detail on the obverse (12 o clock) matches up with the are with less detail on the reverse (also 12 o clock). I would guess that at some point, it was damaged in some way by being laid flat with the obverse facing down, and then hit with something in that spot on the reverse. :O Dang, that's a lot! Glad to hear you think it's genuine! I tried having a look for fakes from Kwang Hsu, but couldn't find any. Lots of fake dollars, but I couldn't see any fake 10 cents that I could use for comparison. I only collect ancients, so coins like this are completely out of my comfort zone![/QUOTE]
