<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 595921, member: 4703&quot;]I think you&#039;ve caught Krause in another error.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the 2008 35th Ed. 20th Century <i>Standard Catalog of World Coins</i> the 20¢ Fukien Province silver coins are all described as spelling the provincial name &quot;FU-KIEN&quot;, not the variant &quot;FOO-KIEN&quot; seen on your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, in the 1984 13th Ed. of Yeoman&#039;s <i>Modern World Coins 1850-1964</i> the &quot;FOO-KIEN&quot; spelling is clearly shown for the undated silver coins, including the 20¢ Y#104.&nbsp; (Yeoman doesn&#039;t list the varieties ID&#039;d by Krause.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures in Gunter Schön&#039;s <i>World Coin Catalog</i> are even worse than the ones in Krause, but his description of Schön #10 (Y#104.2) agrees with Yeoman, and disagrees with Krause. about the inscription.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line - I think you have Fukien Province Y#104.2, and Krause describes it incorrectly.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1985 English edition, translated from the 17th Ed. of Schön&#039;s German work, and the 1984 Yeoman edition both value it at $6 VF, $9 XF.&nbsp; Values are only a little higher in my 2008 35th Ed. of Krause.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not going to try grading your coin based on the picture you have posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
