Hello all, as per the subject line. I'm looking to add a nice silver coin from the Orient to my collection of world crowns.
Rare dates & condition past XF don't matter too much to me, just the pattern.
I could exchange for it through the following means:
Paypal, BTC, swap, or bullion.
Thanks for looking.
You probably already know this but... be careful with Fat Man and similar silver coins. They are WIDELY counterfeited and replicated and sold in flea markets etc. When you get swap offers for these coins ask the other member to test their coins with a magnet, etc. Ask for high-quality pics and weights. You'll find lots of great members here with genuine coins, but some just don't know that what they have is not real.
(PS: I have a bag of these "coins" - all magnetic, all replicas, in several styles so I know what to look for.)

Yeah I know, in an unsurprising turn of events the Chinese like to fake their own coins...
I'll keep you in mind if I need help and/or am unsure of an item's authenticity.
