chinese silver dollars?

[1337_/\/\4573R]

hey pappy,
i recently got a hold of two coins that have chinese writing on them. i dont really care if they are fake, because they look really cool. if they are fake, i can still have a couple of cool counterfiet coins.


the first one has a lot of symbols on the front and has a really cool dragon on the back


the second one has a few symbols on the front and has a really wicked looking ship on the back.

any help you could provide on these would be really appreciated, as a few people i know have been pestering me to give them these coins (even though i have no intention on parting with them). it would be cool if tey were worth a couple dollars.

and btw, they both are just barely magnetic. not much at all, but the pull is there.

I'll do my best within the next couple day's to find out some information for you about the coins.

The first pictured coin is a dollar from YUNNAN/CHINA. There were several different materials used for the coinage. Copper, Silver and Nickel/Copper. They date to 1908 and are listed in the Standard Catalog Of World Coins under Y#258. If yours is Silver it will weigh 26.80gm. and in Fine Condition will fetch about $27.50, in VF Condition it will be worth about $50.00 and in XF condition it will be worth about $75.00. YUNNAN/CHINA is located north of Laos and North Vietnam.

The second coin I have not been able to find BUT I believe that it is Vietnam coinage from the mid 1980's.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY...PAPPY HAS HAD A LOT OF IRONS IN THE FIRE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE SLOWING SOME NOW.
