Chinese "fat man" listed for 75 USD. Your toughts?

Hello! This Chinese 1914 type coin of 1YUAN = Dollar (with the fat general Yan-Schi-Kai,later self proclaimed emperor of China in 1916) is one of the most counterfieted chinese silver coins and of not too great catalogue value,even genuine.

BUT,your coin looks quite circulated and,for that,it may be authentic.

BUT again,to be more sure(as we never know with so many fakes on the market!)we'll need the coins's weight(which should be a bit less than 26.9g.) & if it sticks or not to a magnet(silver is a non-magnetic metal).

The price of 75$ will be accordingly to the previous details.

If it is not yet your coin,you should ask the coin's actual owner to provide answers to the precedent. 

Friendly yours,

Andi

To me, it looks artificially worn, and by harsh methods.

Particularly the rim denticles look clumsy and in most places as if they were never there, not just worn away.

I don't agree with AndiPasculescu10 that signs of wear are proof of authenticity.

In the first place, counterfeiters can equally make a copy look worn.

In the second place, gold and high denomination silver coins may have been legal tender in their time, but they wouldn't circulate as freely as pennies or quarters did. A silver dollar may have represented a quarter of a month's salary for an average worker, equivalent to a $500 coin nowadays. High denomination silver and particularly gold coins were mainly used for potting up, which is why the ones still around are usually in pretty neat condition, and not beaten down like this dollar.

I wouldn't trust this coin.

Hello

More a 1 or 2 jiao for the denomination 

So really smaller and lighter than the one yuan 

Need weight and diameter

No, not a 1914 dollar. A dollar would have no characters above the wreath on the reverse. Perhaps a 20 or 50 cent piece. Without weight and diameter I cant tell what this counterfeit is pretending to be. Run away.

Hello,to all of you! I am not good at all in chinese characters and I paid no attention to the coin's denomination! You are right,if genuine,it is a much smaller silver coin of 20 cents (2 chiao) of 1 Yuan(dollar),with very-very low value even in better grades of quality/preservation!

So,genuine circulated or fake artificially harsh ''used'',even if it would have cost a few $, it's much sane to RUN AWAY FROM IT!(as a colleague said)!

This ''coin'' (like it is shown in photos) is not worth our or your attention!

1916, 2 Jiao, authentic, but it's not worth the US $75.

authentic “dot” version, VG/F should be around $50-60

How anyone can conclude authentic without weight is beyond me.

Maybe they are guessing it’s an “authentic“ fake.

Some background on provenance would be quite beneficial also.
