<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1804317, member: 41780&quot;]I have had good luck getting quality Chinese coins on eBay, by carefully checking the sellers and then measuring my coins when I receive them (usually, I have no issues).&nbsp; But this coin has made me feel... uneasy.&nbsp; The issues:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. The surface on the obverse is not smooth, with some pitting in areas.</p><p>2. There are also issues with the lamination, or outer layer, on the obverse.</p><p>3. The surface of the reverse has a couple of noticeable lumps, which can be seen in the pic attached.</p><p>4. The coin was sold for $20.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the other hand, the diameter (33 mm) is correct and the weight (12.6 g) is about right.&nbsp; I also know there were quality-control issues at the Chinese mints at the time these coins were made.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If anyone has insights, please let me know!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]293711[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]293712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]293713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]293716[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
