Thanks…it's sticking…both are fakes.

I had bought both coins looking at Dragon…I actually felt that what was offered to me was Real…

It's amazing the way Dragon is struck…

couldn't identify difference until I checked Obverse of coins…

I should have tried magnet first…it would have saved lot of time…Thanks again 😊

Unfortunately, I got two too. One is for Kwang-Tung Province and the other one is for Manchurian Provinces. Even the fronts are not the same too for the Manchurian ‘coin’. 

In my case, Seller had 5 of these coins…

Other collectors bought 1 each and I bought 2 of them…he ran out of stock otherwise I would have ended up buying more 😅

Still these two replicas will be my most favourite copy coins…it will top the list in my Black 🖤 museum.

I am still not able to figure out that how amazingly they have been able to struck the Dragon…

I did not buy them, so it doesn't hurt that much. However, it is disappointing to know that they are not genuine. I agree that the dragon is impressive, but the way those alphabets are struck gives it away. Even the letters are not the same height and size too.

Hmm…

I did not loose much money but it could have been utilised to get some other decent silver coins.

Anyways it was a good lesson for me. 

I only buy Chinese coins with COA personally signed by chairman Mao and the I would ask for a second opinion
