Is this set genuine?

The current fair value for NGC MS66 set is about $130. This seller asks $90 for AU/UNC set is definitely overpriced. It is a good practice to buy coin at eBay only from seller who posts clear pictures of both sides of coin.

It is not easy to get better price for this set, though

Here are the recent auction results (last two months) at coin001 for MS64/65 ($90), 65 ($100), 67($270) and 68 ($950) sets. The fair price for AU/UNC set should be about $60. The average grade for coin from original bank roll is about MS65.

The results are mainly from Chinese auction sites, might be an issue for non-Chinese trying to buy from those sites.
Are mainland Chinese collectors better at spotting fakes ? Or maybe better informed as they have the first access to high quality fakes that surface from China ?

Is this website http://www.coin001.com available in English and do they accept paypal? The prices are much better than on ebay

IMO, this set is genuine from Shenyang Mint, but in AU/BU condition. The set in the following link is for Shanghai Mint version in Choice BU condition.

The pictures show Shanghai Mint version.

Just friendly advice, be patient and study the coin. There are many valuable information in this forum. You should not buy anything which you have no knowledge about.

[sbtigon]

I got your advice too late..
I already bought these  coins BU... and Taiwan 5 Jiao..
I hope they look genuine to you..and are Shanghai mint? I will know weight and get better image when I get the coins.

Sorry for disturbing you but I am not  very knowledgeable about Chinese coins. Before buying  Year of Goat 2003 1 Yuan I will study properly

IMO, they are genuine, but in AU/BU condition and made by Shanghai Mint. The coin should weigh about 9.32 gm with a diameter of 30 mm.
