AnYangMan Valued Member Netherlands 91 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 11:58 am Ai, hate to break it to you, but this coin is definitely not genuine. Without even going into the coin itself, I recognise the patina and the style of picture; this coin comes from ebay seller Best66666, am I right? This notorious seller has been selling decent fakes unchecked for a considerable amount of time. No stopping him I'm afraid. The patina and calligraphy don't look too bad at first glance, but when studying it a little closer, you can see some fault are being to show. I am not specialised in this specific area of Chinese coin, but it's a fake I'm afraid. Did you buy it? Or is it still for sale? If the former, I hope you will be able to get a refund. Avoid this seller in the future at all costs! Mika Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 9:11 pm @rasoleil, first welcome to CCF. Second, in my opinion, you should not purchase any coin from a seller who sells fakes. Here is a thread which should provide you with some good information on buying ancient Chinese coins. http://goccf.com/t/266180 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Edited by Spence 03/06/2017 9:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
