rosso_rubino Valued Member Italy 244 Posts	Posted 02/08/2009 08:12 am here there are 2 cash from Tao Kuang, they came from different sources, and the right it seems true, both characters and weigth are very close to Schjoth catalogue, while the left is light referring to Schjoth, and also the Pao character is a bit different from Tao Kuang Pao character usually visible. And it came from the same set as the Yung Cheng cash already posted yesterday. Image: TaoKuang-or-sz.jpg 12.66 KB Image: TaoKuang.jpg 52.87 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 02/08/2009 2:08 pm I think it's safe to say the left coin is fake. The Boo isn't even close to the style used, and there are many other problems with the calligraphy. The right coin is questionable too. It's Board of Revenue, but with a 1 dot square head tong, which is not listed in Hartill or on Zeno. Also the radical on Dao is not correct. Report this Post to the Staff
