<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 2258032, member: 75799&quot;]Hi. Thanks for the concern. I am fully aware of the b fakes from China. I have been collecting coins for some time (primarily silver) to reasonably distinguish base metals from silver.

However point to note, the stamps are likely later additions to increase its appeal. Most sycees carry other types of inscriptions in particular the issuing silversmith. During the early Republic days up to mid 20th century, sellers were known to include such add on to increase their appeal for a premium as opposed to a blank piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
