Long story short, I bought this on the classifieds and the seller had reason enough to believe it is fake....
I had felt the weight and looked at it just a day earlier, but this guy decided he'd made up his mind and didn't want it so I bought it.
I got it on a few high end scales at work and the weight checks out.(155g which should be 5 troy ounces) I will be soon getting it over to the lab to have it scanned on our electron microscope, then I'll feel a bit better about it.
But anyway, my question is ......I had quickly looked up the rabbit coin and thought Ii had found the match and it looked like it was somewhat limited and valuable. 4000 struck.
Then I noticed that mine has the 5OZ in English letters, where the one I was looking at a few days ago online has that part in Chinese.
I was able to translate some of the writing on it , but no luck on some of the other smaller stuff in the last picture.....hoping it doesn't say copy....
Does anyone know anything about these ? Were there multiple series of them made for China and others for export?
I rarely ever buy stuff like this , but this one just looked cool, and if it was the one I first thought, it seemed to be somewhat valuable....But in all reality I'll be happy if the scan just comes back as .999.
Looking forward to any info you guys may have on it.
