This is my collection after 1-2 years of collecting coins from China. I really enjoy the hobby. If you want to see any of them up close, let me know. None of them are for sale, sorry folk.
A lovely Xuantong 3rd Yr. Dollar and a Kiangnan dollar with the redesigned dragon
Does this one look right or is it a bad piece?
Thanks for any help on this
Anyone know if this looks real or is a replica? It seems to be a Chinese 10 Wen from sometime around 1906, which is moderately valuable. I’d like to submit it for grading if its real.
This 1908 Peiyang Dollar weight right (26.7g) and is non-magnetic. My only concern is the somewhat “mushy” details on the last photo. Would appreciate what everyone thinks on this. Thx
Copied from ancientcoins sorry
I bought some coins from an expo yesterday. They were placed in a small ziploc for about 36 hours. 24 hours ago, they all looked completely fine.
Now, I noticed a white substance on one of them. I immediately took all coins that I saw any white away, they are in the photo. However none of the white was actually able to be disturbed (I used a mechanical pencil) on any coin except the second photo in the slide. What next? I'm very concerned.
I seperated the coins on the second, third and fourth slides and the rest from the ones that had no white on them, and double sealed everything in fresh ziplocs. I will immediately move to 2x2s or saflips when I get home in 3 days.
Just got this beauty! 1908 Guangxu Dragon Dollar of the famous “造幣總廠” or Tientsin General Mint
I am leaning to Vietnam, but that is only based off of the very circular boo, and the fact I know they've made 180 degree errors in the past. It could easily be Chinese too; the Vietnamase Canh Long Thong Baos are less crude than this usually IIRC. I doubt it's Indonesian because while the characters are crude they are still pretty faithful to how they should look. Any opinion is appreciated.
