[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 1351396, member: 15019"]There is no actual date on the coin, but all the reference materials date them as 1917. I believe that auction is one of those where stuff either sells for unusually high prices, or there is something fishy going on. I've come across their auctions before while researching coins I had, but none of them ever sold anywhere near their prices. And I have a fairly large Chinese customer base. I've wondered if they post crazy final bid prices just to get more consignments. When looking at well known international auctions, the prices are in tune with what I mentioned. The following coin is the most recent example which has the same grade and similar eye appeal as your coin (auction ended 01/10/12). However, your coin is relatively weakly struck, as is evident in the collar of the portrait and the pom-poms on the flags. : [URL]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3017&lotNo=27647[/URL] You need to sign up to view full size pictures and sale price, but it's completely free and they rarely send you spam e-mail.[/QUOTE]
