flying_teapot Valued Member Russian Federation 417 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 08:55 am Hello there. I'm going into ancient asian coins, already have some Japanese. I've found a seller, he has 1000+ various genuine world coins in stock, and these ones are in there. I have gut feeling about these. Ah yes, and prices are extremely low, 6$ average for each.

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1308 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 10:06 am I often say that counterfeiting ancient coins is often dependent on the work required and the profit someone can get except for Chinese coins as they seem to have fakes for all levels and I have no idea how they make money doing that. Anyway, right away that patina is exactly shared for color variations of green to orange from coin to coin and the letters pop so nicely and uniformly from coin to coin in exactly the same way. So you are correct they are not going to be real but they are quite attractive for artistic purposes. Report this Post to the Staff

As already stated, the patina looks artificial on all of them, and I also am not a fan of how smooth and rounded the devices look. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am. Report this Post to the Staff

flying_teapot Valued Member Russian Federation 417 Posts	Posted 12/09/2020 01:40 am I don't want to make another useless thread. What do you think about these? Looks good to my eye, but it's price makes me doubt (4$ shipped both). Kangxi Tongbao and Qianlong Tongbao, but seller knows nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 03:22 am The prices for the 5 spades in Hartill total $2,250. $6 each is quite a steal! Sarcasm aside, the brown coins in the last group are likely genuine and $2 each is about right. Edited by Kushanshah 12/10/2020 03:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
