Hi I have several Chinese coins and I would like to know if some of them are fake?!
Firstly a ‘Dragon’ Coin, I’ve been un able to find one with similar writing on the internet? Fake?
Secondly I have a ‘Fatman’ Coin
How do I identify a fake?
perhaps need to measure and weigh coins?
Will do this and post later?!?
Next, I don’t even know if this is Chinese??
I have 3 other ‘10 Cash’ coins which I think are authentic but I’m having trouble identifying exact types? I will post separately
Hope some one can help???!
pam
The fat man coin is a fake. Because originally it is made with silver alloy.
The 1st coin might be fake because its made of silver but like you say the wording don match.
The last ancient coin, I am not sure.
Thank you.

Welcome to Numista!!
The first two coins are indeed replica's.
I collect such replica's so identification is not difficult for me
They should be silver, but the brass shines all over the coins.
There are some silver tests you can perform: http://www.silvercoins.com/fake-silver-coins-14-ways-to-spot-counterfeits/
Start with a simple magnet.
Thanks for information, as I thought the first two coins are copies/fakes! Any idea how much I could sell them for ??
Good info re the third coin, will look into.
Please can anyone help with 10 Cash Coins
First 1920 ‘wheatears’ y306???
Second, again 1920 I think?
Lastly 1906 ‘Tai Ching Ti Kuo’??
Think these coins are authentic?
