Question
QUESTION: I came across some Chinese silver coins. I was wondering if you might help identify them. They have Kwang Tung Province and 7 Mace and 2 Candareens on the dragon side. I have found some similar coins but on the obverse two of the four central chinese characters are different than most I've found on the web. Are they fake? They weigh roughly 27 grams. Thanks.

ANSWER: Fake, sorry.

QUESTION: What's the tell-tale sign?

ANSWER: I'm not sure I can say, its just oblivious to me. For one, the field services aren't right. Henry, your an ungrateful jackass.

QUESTION: First of all dumbass it's obvious not oblivious. And second of all talking shit on the internet is weak. Saying it to someones face takes real balls. So next time you're in New Mexico let me know and we can dance.

Answer
I survived two wars. You think you can scare me. Can't take it that someone knows more than you about anything. Sad. Go back to whacking off. On second thought, I apologize, that is the best I can do at this point. Send me a e-mail address and I will send you a scan of a news article about where your coin was counterfeited.
