An email exchange from a couple of months ago. I have edited a couple of his choice words.
him: Hi there, was wondering if you all buy Chinese Szechuan province 7 mace and 2 candareens coins, I just have one , I've had it examined and is indeed authentic weighing the proper 26.8grams as opposed to the weight of counterfeits which according to pcgs all weigh 18-22g , coin is in pretty decent condition, anyhow, just curious to know if you might possibly be interested, thanks!
me: I will forward these to a Chinese coin dealer friend that I get authenticity assistance from on occasion. I’ll let you know what he says.
him: Ok sounds good, thank you for your time I appreciate it, what are the odds that it's genuine? I started out not knowing a single thing about these coins to knowing quite a bit and from all the information I've acquired the chances of it being legitimate are pretty slim and not to my favor . (Laughs)
me: Here is the response from my contact. Unfortunately it’s not good news.
The Chinese piece is a low quality fake…….Szechuan dollar was made in kind of lower quality compare to other provincial issues, but this one is absolutely a fake.
him: Yeah I figured as much, it's ok I'm used to people trying to f*** me over with counterfeit bull**** , that's why I have a small stout old fashioned night stick, made out of hickory, it's got dried blood and bits and pieces of teeth fragments impeded into it from various people who've done what this individual has done , big mistake on their part, very big mistake, I appreciate your help and your colleagues clarification to what i had already assumed, thank you, now I believe it's time for me to pay a visit to a certain individual to discuss what type dentures they would like wear for the rest of their life. Take care.
Two months later, he's back with a different but similarly formatted email address.
him: Hi there here is a few pics of the coin
me: Hi. You have already contacted us about this coin. It is a counterfeit.
him: Your mom is counterfeit
I couldn't help but to literally laugh out loud when I read that.

Ignore it and move on. Idiots are not worth one cent or one second. And yes, the world is full of them.
Priceless!!

Yeah, that was a LOL.
I would tell him my Ricko approved 45 beats your hickory stick.

I just delete many of these before there is any interaction.

Yikes. One of my friends from high school texted this early this A.M.
After reading your exchanges I can understand.
Wife: Honey I thought we agreed on 3 beers and be home at 10.
Husband: I am sorry dear, I always get those two mixed up.
Not sure where to start.

Wow! We really need to reopen the loony bins. 😵💫
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Wow! Sometimes you just have to laugh.

Sounds more like the coin seller was the one drinking this time

You’re better off not responding to these - have a drink on me

These 'know nothings' always think that the folks that actually DO know something are screwing them over. I don't know why your emailer would be so offended since, according to the texting, you never offered him anything for his counterfeit coin?
