[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1293896, member: 15445"]I think I got an authentic 1912 Szechuan dollar in uncirculated condition. I’m quite happy with the purchase as long as it is real. I gave it a ring test by placing the coin on my finger tip & tapping it with a pencil. The coin rings like a stressed-out struck coin. I gave it the super-magnet test & it is not attracted to a magnet. I inspected the denticles and the reeding. Both look sharp & complete. The toning on the coin is consistent with a silver coin that has been in the care of a coin collector for 100 years. Although I didn’t buy it from Dr. Saslow, he was kind enough to weigh & inspected it for me. He compared the reeding to another China dollar & after some contemplation he said that he believed it to be genuine. I finally bought the coin and I’m showing it to all of you now. Do you think I got a good coin?[/QUOTE]
