Anyone know about China Auto Dollars?

I looked around for a while and bought this one at a Stacks/Coin Galleries sale.

Anyone know anything about these?

Only that like most Chinese coins, there is an enormous amount of counterfeiting. Purchasing from a firm such as Stack's probably greatly reduces the risk.

I always like them. Not too many seem to come up for sale. This one cost me more than I expected but I'm happy to get it.

Vroom! Vroom!

MrEarlyGold:

It is a very cool coin. There is a certain Chinese coin that is also very tough to get that I am trying to buy at the moment... at some point hopefully a picture will get to the forum regardless as to how bad the picture may be.

Thank you coinkat, if you ever stumble across any Vietnamese material, PLEASE let me know.

Or any more of these auto dollars from China.


Hope your deal happens.

Hmm, the auto dollar is in my want list ever since I saw Steve's (Steve27) example. Expensive and very tough in grades above F- VF.This one is very pleasing without rim nicks and with beautiful colour.

That is the King of Coins for the collector who collects cars on coins. It' s also on my want list.
