Chinese 1 Jiao / 10 Cents "Fat Man" Silver Coin [solved]

7 posts • viewed 299 times
Good night, could you please give any tips or opinions about this scarce coin I picked up!?
This is a 1914 "Fat Man" type silver coin from the Republic of China (Year 3). (Y#326).
My coin has 2.6 grams, only 0.1 grams difference, which for me is acceptable. My coin also shows signs of circulation and slight weld marks. Below you will have two links. The first is the coin in Numista and the second is a link to a graduated coin exactly like mine.Then, the pictures of my coin in question. I would like you to please say what you think of this coin. Thank you very much in advance to everyone.

I do not pretend to be an expert on this kind of coins,
but I think you should try to picture your own coin a little bit better,
if you want a serious answer.
Was it still in a holder when you took the picture?
...you can run,  but you can't hide...

​Okay, I'll take another picture. The coin was already on a table. Thanks

​ Searching in Numista, I found this coin: ( https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces240961.html ). My coin and the graded coin from the link above also have a similar reverse to this one. What do you think!? Thanks.

​ Wow! Thank you very much indeed, this is really it. I'm going to register this one then, and I'll write Tienking Mint on my coin. Thanks and I will mark the post as solved. (Oh, and my coin doesn't really have the initials of L.G.). Thank you one more time.
