<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 951188, member: 4703&quot;]The top one is a charm/token, not a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one on the bottom is supposed to be the famous &quot;Auto Dollar&quot;, issued by Kweichow Province in Republic Year 17 (1928) to commemorate the opening of the first automobile road in the province.&nbsp; The lack of most counterfeit &quot;flags&quot; (wide border, uneven denticles, ragged reeding, casting bubbles, etc.,) coupled with the weight being off by a full gram (it should only weigh 25.8g), and the diameter being 1/2mm too wide, all suggest that it&#039;s simply a fake of above average quality.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>(It has been estimated by reliable sources that less than 10% of the Auto Dollars seen on the market are genuinely part of the 648,000 mintage.) </p><p><br /></p><p>KM#428 values start at $200 (VG) in the 2008 35th Ed.&nbsp; From the picture, if genuine I would grade yours as in the high VF to low AU range, with a value of ~$750-2,500).&nbsp; If I recall correctly, that last graded one I saw on EBay was an AU50, that didn&#039;t meet reserve with a bid of $2,700.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
