These are some of the coins my friend is selling.
Can anyone verify the details on the holders.
I must admit I'm struggling with the coins.
These are both for sale if anyone wants to make an offer.

No Chinese experts out there.
Shame, I have a few more I need help with.
Where is Dannyrox, when I need him?

The top one does resemble a "palace coin" of the Xian Feng emperor (as seen in the introductory section of CHinese coins in Krause: "Non-circulating issues - Palace issues". However, the illustrated type for this emperor is different to the one on this coin. Also, the detail on this coin are very "mushy" - palace coins were generally of very high quality, given that they were gifts from the emperor himself to his trusted servants. There were no examples of this scarce coin on zeno to compare it to. I'd certainly be very skeptical of paying that amount of money for it. Chinese silver dollars have been favourites of counterfeiters ever since they were issued. I'd definitely want to know the weight to be sure, but I don't really like the look of this one. The details of Li Yuan-hung's uniform seem to be melting away in the background and there's more than just the cross-stroke of the H missing from the lettering, when compared to the examples on zeno.ru |

Sap,
I'll pull them out of the holders and get some better pics and weights, tonight.

I turned the coin around from front to back so many times, I became dis-orient-ated.
