    Imperial China - 1911 - 50 Cents (Yunnan Province)
    13.3g (listed as 13.2g), 32.5mm
    I had this catalogued as Y#257.1 (3 circles under Pearl), but originally it was listed as a Y#257 (2 circles under Pearl) when I bought it years ago.

    Pearl is located under the Dragon's head.

    1st ?: Which do you think it is?
    2nd ?: Is this coin genuine? (I believe it is, but I'm not an expert on these issues)
    3rd ?: What's the going price for this type?

    27.0g, 38.7mm
    Y#318a.1

    1st ?: Is this coin genuine? (I believe it is)
    2nd ?: What's the going price for this type?

    Both coins are fairly common. If high grades the would have decent value. Both to me look like problem coins. Ie damage possible ED.

    I have no reason to think both arent genuine. As far as value it depends if you find a buy who wants this problem type. I would guess $20-50 each if your lucky

    Very common coins not worth to much
    Average 30$ each
    Depend on condition

    They both look like the surfaces are the same, and very porous for the issues - mushy details. Have you checked the specific gravity and tried them with a magnet?
