Is this fake 10 Cents from Hong Kong? [επιλυμένο]

7 αναρτήσεις • προβλήθηκε 127 φορές

Hi,

I have this coin, which really tries to be this one: N#7325 , but mine is only 2.2gr and looks like copper. Do you know if it is a fake or just some souvenir? Why would you fake 10 cents?

Thanks

try ping test and check for magnticity

it is a rare silver coin from British Hong Kong

I'm going with contemporary counterfeit. I think I see brass peeking through around the rims.

 

Is it even silver, etc.

Thank you for your replies.

It is definitely not silver, feels more like copper and it is slightly lighter than the genuine article. Why would you fake such low value coin?

In 1894 10 cents was a day's pay!

the coin is highly collectable and valuable.
