Chinese Kwang-Tung 7.2

btsimonh - I take a look of your coin. It is different from mine. It should be the later version and produce many. Mine is the very begging version and the prime pattern coin. It has foreign letters around Chinese era name. Because it is incompatible with political system, all coins of that version were called back. Then Government change design to coin of yours. So yours is the later design. Yours should be old of period--genuine.

Chinese name of your coin is #24191;#19996;#30465;#36896;#20809;#32490;#19971;#38065;#20108;#20998;#38134;#20803;. you can search with this Chinese name. But both price and image you get from internet may not be true. I do not see a genuine one yet. All image showed are wrong. Price show high. It is not real market price. It is hard to sell actually. Better do not expect much. Just have fun. That is it.

Sorry, here do not show other country words. Try below link. But also has Chinese in the link. I do not know if it work.

btsimonh - Your coin has good edge tooth. And patina is natural. When you take photo under not very strong sun light patina show clearer.
I think you can keep it. It is good for you to learn the coins and make less mistake in collection.

btsimonh - I take a look of your analysis. Sorry,, I have to say, you cannot take PCGS as reference. As I said from what I see all rare Chinese coins graded are counterfeited by wax mold and heavily applied artificial patina. That is total different from a genuine coin. Only make you confuse.







Take look of surface, it is not hard to recognize it. it is only because people do not dare questioning PCGS/NGC and trust them.

ok, finished the first 3 pages of the Chinese search - and updated website to reflect. thankyou again for that.

The sad thing is that they will grade our surfaces badly :(.

They always sell that strange color coins. It is not natural rust color. Even do not have experience of such coins, basic thing is it should be stamping pressed and natural rust color.

I did. They say my coins are counterfeit and did not give reason. I provided all information, image in natural light, size, weight, silver composition, image of edge tooth. I do not think they consider those things. What they do is to see whether the coin is similar with coins they already graded. I do not collect coins like they graded, It is so obvious strange to take as real one.

That is matter of business, business logic, the way to make money. Does not matter of genuine or fake. Auction house get that kind strange coins then grading company put in holder then sell high price. They get more money is first consideration, not collector, not genuine or fake.

The grading standard and system is not what we think. I do not know how they grade common coins. I see all rare pattern coins are obvious not stamping pressed not natural patina.

This are they grade as SP
