<p>[QUOTE=&quot;weifin, post: 742104, member: 20003&quot;]re: Republic of China 1929 $.10 coin. Have found picture and info at <a href="http://www.kenelks.co.uk/chinese/chineserepublic.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kenelks.co.uk/chinese/chineserepublic.htm" rel="nofollow">www.kenelks.co.uk/chinese/chineserepublic.htm</a> . Also have found use of character &quot;mao&quot; on Hong Kong $.10 coin for 1990 unlike currently used term &quot;jiao&quot; on PRC and previous post-1949 ROC (Taiwan) coins. Am seeing two versions of many coins of early ROC coinage: one with English on one side and one with only Chinese on both sides. Does &quot;fantasy piece&quot; mean that they are &quot;manufactored&quot; pieces and never existed in that form in circulated form? I have 7 coins that seem to fit this. Let me ask: if they have correct Chinese on one side (of some original coins) but obverse doesn&#039;t match in the English version (five provinces in Chinese--but all English on each coin only refers to Kwang-deng province--doesn&#039;t match any Chinese version). Also, if error in mintage, why did one person have all 7 coins in one booth? Not possible! Definite counterfeits--poor counterfeits. But do these qualify as &quot;fantasy pieces&quot;? They are the 1.44 yuan 1894 coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
