The Eidolon Posted February 5, 2023 · Member Share Posted February 5, 2023 Got this recently as part of a mixed lot from a local coin shop. It was misidentified as a 1 jiao by the dealer, which I didn't realize until I had it at home. Apparently, the 2 jiao can go for significantly more than I paid for it, if authentic, but there are numerous fakes out there. If any of you are familiar with Republic of China coins, I have a couple questions: 1) Does it appear likely to be authentic? 2) If not a fake, approximately what grade might it be? My old Krause guide (1990s) doesn't seem to show the 2 jiao as much more expensive than the 1 jiao, but apparently the current market thinks differently. Since I'm terrible at estimating coin grades, I have no idea if it would be worth getting authenticated. Thanks for any help, comments, or advice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
