I bought this coin from a re-seller since they sold out so long ago.
I love the design, but noticed some yellow specks in the rhodium plated fields and on the rim. I'm not sure whether this is blatant damage and I should return it, or some kind of mint error. I'm only thinking it's a plating error because when held under some light, those fields look pretty smooth and it doesn't look like conventional scratching. Then again, this isn't a conventional coin.
I paid $250 for it, which would've been enough in hindsight to get one that was already graded by NGC at PF69. No clue how this one would grade though, what are your thoughts? Should I keep or return? Thanks

Saw this on eBay for a pretty reasonable price, want to buy it but not 100% sure it's real.
Description says it's a 1 mace and 4.4 candareens coin of the Xuantong Emperor made between 1909 and 1911 in Guangdong province.
I've searched for other pictures of the coin, and I don't see any
signs of being fake.
I'm not really sure, any thoughts or opinions please share.
Thanks! 
Apologies for the blurry picture, it was the only other image included in the listing.

This eBay seller was selling world coin lots for $8.33 plus shipping. He had multiple lots, and I chose this one. It has a half-dime in the picture, with an O mint mark.
Was it worth it? All the earlier half-dimes are around $20 catalog value in G
I don't think the half-dime is dateless, I can faintly see what looks like 1857.

It's definitely not a coin made by a government. It's probably made by a company in China. I see lots of these gold-plated coins selling for under $2 on eBay. Usually they depict the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. Not very rare, since these are mass produced, but good for a present, or display, I guess.
So it could be a coin, token, or medallion, whatever you want to call it, but it's not made by the government, it's made by a manufacturer. I think you could pick something like this up at a Chinese souvenir store.
I would keep it in it's packaging.
The coin is definitely gold plated.
It's really hard to find out who made this coin, there are millions of zodiac coin makers in China. |
