gxseries Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi and welcome to coinpeople. The 'coin' that you have is a counterfeit 1 yuan, dated 1911. Value would be worth scrap metal. Please take caution with Chinese coins as there are just too many counterfeits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendykwok89 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi Thanks for the info!.^^ btw can i know how do you tell if this is counterfeit coin and not the real one? Is't because of the colours, wordings or something else ( i would love to know ). I got this from my friend's mom which she has been keeping it for almost 30 years ( she found this in the warehouse while she was working and she Kept It ) . Can this possibly be the real thing or Is't a 100% counterfiet? Hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Counterfeits can be produced from the very day any coins are minted. Therefore it does not matter how long ago it was kept as it was a counterfeit from day one. There are more than enough signs to tell that this is a counterfeit. First the details are just too mushy. Second, the metal does not seem right. If this is magnetic, this is already a sign that it cannot be genuine. Original coins were struck in silver and silver is not magnetic. Lastly, the weight of this should be 26.9g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
