<p>[QUOTE="tcekolin, post: 284074, member: 9283"]Ok, I live in the Orlando area. I had occasion to go down to Epcot today and while there, I looked up the coins in question at the side shop in the China place. The package of coins in question are 8 coins which do look silver and are about the right size to be about a dollar. No where on the package is there any indication that they are copies or reproductions. The look like they are 7 mace and 2 candareen silver dollars. But they are too light and they have no silver ring when struck. The coins weigh on average about 20 grams instead of the 26 that they ought. I'll make some scans of them and post them later. Since they only cost 8 dollars, I figured what the heck - I'd bite just out of curiosity. The packaging does have on it "Ming Dynasty Coins". I'll scan the packaging as well. But not tonight cuz I am tired. The real reason for going down there was the International Food and Wine Festival and I had a lot of stops to make around Epcot <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> -- Tony[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
