Hello,

I saw this page:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7387.html

Has a clearly fake coin pictured, could somebody please replace it with these photos from Heritage Auctions:


I put this here because I know China currently has no referee and requests take months to get through. 8~

Also if someone could take a look at this that would be appreciated as well!

A request has been sent. :`

I can deal with other referees' requests after a week, so if the referee does not come back within that time, I will approve the pictures on January 26. ;)
Awesome work, thanks yet again! :`

If there's any uncertainties with any China-Empire or Republic requests you're dealing with, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll see what help I can give. ;)
Sure thing! :`
Hi,
Can you provide me with the link from the pictures on Heritage Auctions?

I'm not able to find this one in their database and would like to try saving them as bigger file as the ones above are quite small (on my screen the "2" before candareens is more like a "3" making it a variant (8).

​Not sure where it went, but here's another link:
https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/china-szechuan-brass-1-dollar-7-mace-and-2-candareens-pattern-nd-1898-/a/3032-24427.s

That one is a brass pattern, but since it's completely indistinguishable from the normal coin (apart from its metal), we can just pluck those photos out, tone down the saturation to make it appear silver, and replace the fake coin currently pictured. ;)
Found another one :wiz:

I still kept the previous one (i.e. the variant with the "3 candareens") but as a comment.
