[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 1456602, member: 4703"]The outstanding evidence that your coins are all fake is that you found them at a flea market in the company of at least one blatent fake! Both the Fat Man and the other rotation error are highly suspect because of the error. The last one, dated 1929, not only doesn't appear in Krause, but has a portrait markedly different from all known coins. The "one yuan" legend at the bottom of the reverse doesn't give me any confidence that its an actual issue missed by Krause for 83 years! Have you given them the magnet test? Have you weighed them and/or accurately measured their diameters? I strongly suspect that most or all will be magnetic, and that few if any will have the correct weight/diameter. In all probability you have five nice additions to your black cabinet, hopefully at a reasonable price for counterfeits.[/QUOTE]
