[QUOTE="StevenHarden, post: 24802471, member: 67639"]Hello All. I have a China 1/2 Yuan Year 3 (1914) (also known as the "Fat Man 1/2 Dollar"). As shown below, it has some unusual cud-like knobs/protrusions on both the obverse and reverse. For reference, this is listed as L&M#64, which states that is should measure 31mm in diameter and weigh 13.6 grams. The piece I have does measure 31mm, but weighs 12.8 grams. While the piece I have is worn, I am curious if it is worn enough to be that must off by weight. Also, I am curious if the cud-like knobs/protrusions are PMD (post mint damage) or the result of a minting error. I realize that counterfeits are abundant in this type and will be fine if that is the case too. As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
