[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2757757, member: 4373"]This is a one year type. The reason why it looks different is because this is a reduced sized of the previous half won coin. 1906 half won [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/973430.jpg[/img] 1907 half won [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/982479.jpg[/img] At this point of time, it looks genuine but it's better to take a photo. Luster can still tell a fair bit. I have a 20 chon coin which is of much lower value however this fooled me big time. The only reason I managed to tell is a counterfeit only after I handled at least three examples from fine to XF+ that I finally realized there were some minor details that are wrong. Photos alone weren't enough - I needed real examples. This is where even low grade examples were honestly helpful for comparison purposes. Genuine example [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1021512.jpg[/img] Counterfeit example [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1019086.jpg[/img] The luster immediately gives away concerns but one might brush it off as cleaned / treated with chemical.[/QUOTE]
