<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kolhoznik, post: 2088374, member: 43009&quot;]Krause says for some years the lettering is smaller and some variations are larger between 1898-1904.&nbsp; Secondly there are fine chop marks including the one noted above between kiang and nan.&nbsp; Thirdly if you look at the chop marks under 10 power loop you can see the marks hand been cleaned after they we&#039;re put in at some point in its history. Lastly I took it took it to another coin shop with a rather expensive piece of metallurgical equipment and the alloy came out correct at 90% silver.&nbsp; While not ironclad proof it did point me to being authentic.&nbsp; Please let the debate continue and if anyone recognizes the date it would be helpful.&nbsp; I will try to post better pics later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
