<p>[QUOTE="theouterlimitz, post: 1351145, member: 34564"]Hello everyone. I hope you all had an awesome Holiday(s). A few days ago I was at my mom's house, and she had some of her antique's and jewelry on her table to take to her store. There was a coin on the table, in a flap, so I picked it up and was like "hey, what the heck is that...why are you selling a coin?" and she was like "well....I don't think it is worth anything your Papa had that for like 6o years..." so I was like "Ok...let me research it and see what the deal is" and that is where I stand. Here is what I do know.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. This appears to be an early Republic of China 1916-1917 Tang Jiyao silver commemorative.</p><p>2. It is from the Yunnan province.</p><p>3. They seem to be well desired, especially hot in the Chinese market.</p><p>4. I found a few of these (sold) at a Beijing China auction house for $2-$5K ranging from AU to MS63 (NGC graded).</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay. So I've also found one counterfeit copy on feebay for like $40...which you can tell is an obvious copy (from the fake dirt) to the seller calling it a copy. This coin has been in the family for decades. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lostdutchman...if you are reading this I called you today to maybe stop by your store to get your thougts on submission. Perhaps you could look at the scans and tell me what you (all) think. I would be happiest camper.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here it is. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff368/joshuamiles/scan0001.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff368/joshuamiles/scan0002.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />So any thoughts on grade, year?, anything about this coin would rock.
