[QUOTE="kendog, post: 2134129, member: 74402"]I did post about this coin already but I've got more details about it now to hopefully help make a more informed decision. - Was bought from a retired antique dealer - Weight: 29g - Is NOT magnetic - Has circulation wear - Has natural ageing - Deeper relief/engraving than fakes we've seen - Has 7 characters across the top (different to others we've seen) - Has 'Spring' written on it which no others have (apart from Spring Dollar we've heard of) The 7 characters across the top of the coin read: GENG XU QUN JI YUN NAN ZAO Which means: MADE IN THE YUN-NAN PROVINCE IN THE SPRING OF THE GENG XU (1910) Has anyone seen another out there the same as this? We have some fakes from elsewhere but this one seems a lot different and we can't find any pictures of one with the same engraving (or featuring the word SPRING). Thank you for reading![/QUOTE]
