There are many World Counterfeits and a lot of present day fakes of Chinese coins so I hope to post some pictures to help potential buyers know what to look for. I have several hundred in my catalogs as a result of a three year project since retirement.  |

Fake makers imitate some fairly convincing coins. Genuine pieces like this have sold for many hundreds and thousands of dollars.  |
