This coin was given to me by my Mother after my father died. He found it in the debris of a house he was tearing down over 50 years ago. Any idea of worth? I did weigh it and it comes up at 27 grams.

Citeer: "SpuDy" https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16006.html I researched the coin and there are many variations. This one seems to be the one without any of the added symbols. I was just wondering if anyone might know possible value.

Citeer: "SpuDy" https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16006.html That's a provincial issue (Gansu province); here's the "default" issue:

I'd advise you to be very careful about it's authenticity; these "Fat Man" Dollars are some of the most commonly faked coins in the world, and I'm not 100% convinced your coin is real.... Do some silver tests.

Citeer: "SpuDy" It looks real because of the color and also is was at his mother.On the toning I agree, but just because someone's father found it over 50 years ago doesn't necessarily make it real.
Anyway, if it is real, value should be around 50€:

It's at least an $80 coin. Chinese coins is one of the markets that Krause undervalues.
