Yuan Shih Kai 10 cents coin

Yuan Shih Kai 10 cents coin

Today 28-Jul-2013 I visited coin shop to purchase some coin holder as I running out of stocks . Beside the shop I usually visited ,unexpectedly I spotted few small browse table being setup and noticed some dealers selling notes and coins. Without further delay I proceed to the browse table and checked out what item they are selling. They are selling varieties of world banknotes and coins. One coin that attracted me most is Yuan Shih Kai 10 cents dated 1916 Year 5. Usually most of the dealers have 1914 which is Year 3. I remember while I in Taiwan coin street I visited many shops I just come across 2 coins denomination 10 cents Yuan Shih Kai year 1916 but the condition is just VG to F and the price also not cheap so I decided not to own it. I grab today opportunity to own this coin as the price also reasonable. Currently this 1916 10 cents Yuan Shih Kai is in my collection although is just VF condition.

Yuan Shih Kai Silver Dollar

continue from previous post...

Yuan Shih Kai Silver Dollar are very famous in many coin collector's heart especially China coin collectors. What make Yuan Shih Kai Silver Dollar so special ?. Personally I like this coin very much
due to many varieties exists. Yuan Shih Kai Silver Dollar or Fatman dollar have 3,8,9 and 10 mint year. The rarest among this four year is year 8. In the market a lot of fake or counterfeits exists so be careful before you make up your mind to purchase, always purchase from reputable dealer. Don't think that 3rd party grading company slab coin are safe too. Please refer to the ID of the slab coin and check against the 3rd party grading company database to verify the coin genuinely.

Recently I sent one Yuan Shih Kai silver dollar year 8 for slab which I bought in an auction house . Many of my friends told me this coin is  high grade fake. To me this coin is genuine although the rim look awkward. So  lets wait and see....
