Dieses Thema wurde im Forum Englisch veröffentlicht

Well...I got somewhat 'funny' Hong Kong 10 cents coin minted in 1900, with a mintmark'H' under the bust of Queen Victoria.
While the size seem to be correct(Diameter of about 18mm and thickness of about 1mm. By the way, I use a normal ruler) and it don't stick to a magnet, what bother me most is that its reed on the edge are very .....poor.(as seem in the picture)
Please, I have no idea if it just in a less perfect condition or it was a counterfeit and I surely need some help
Thank you.(and sorry for my poor english)

I do not think anything is wrong with it, just used very well
Mintage 41,5 million
And making a forgery in that condition is unlikely.

Value in that condition is very low (melt value?)

​Thank you! :) So I guess it is not rare for a coin which in a heavily circulated condition have a 'not quite well' reed :P
