1 Yuan Fat Man Dollar; Six character. Re-strike

7 сообщений • просмотрено 206 раз

Hi.

 

I was given 4 of these by a supplier from China some 10 years ago. They are I'm sure a restrike or replica.

 

Can anybody guide me as to proper description and if they have any value?

 

Many thanks

Re-strikes have no value….

For such a coin restrike is a pleonasm 😂

The Yuan Shih-kai dollar or "Fatman" dollar is one of most common Chinese silver dollars. It is also one of the longest-lived series with production beginning in 1914 and running at least to 1921, possibly longer. A survey by the Shanghai Bank estimated that of the 960 million silver dollars in circulation in China in 1924, 750 million were those of Yuan Shih-kai. 

Then, as mentioned Sjoelund, the value of a modern replica is its weight in silver.

Probobly silver bullion, but I don't see any privy marks, so not convinced it's even silver. 

Anything on the edges?

The edges are just milled so I would assume they aren't silver.

Thanks all. I'll shift them on E-Bay. Just didn't want to give away something that was more valuable than I realised!

Hi. 

It is a proof restrike… Maybe in silver. 

In this case, would be at less 40/50 pounds if 1oz. 

Check weight n test it.
