  • Thr Morgan and Peace don't look right to me and I know even less about the rest of the coins, so I won't even try to guess about those.

    This item was come from Xi'an Shaanxi province ---an capital in 9 th.C ancient China . Which is in the west of the China . The condition is excellent and there are no repairs. Expected wear, minor losses and abrasions are a consequence of age.

    Although it has a long history, it still radiates with a vast enchantment and historic value.Bid it,you will enjoy ancient artwork style,and it bring endless pleasure!

    The really screwed up thing is that although we can laugh at this auction with the obvious fake(s) and the silly description, these pieces, along with a few hundred gross just like them, will soon be in somewhat legit auctions in the states. Scary, but it won't be long before I won't ever buy another non top tier certified coin. And then the counterfeit PCGS/NGC/ANACS slabs will show up as often as the fake asian copies.

    We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

    That is a very rare mule! In 1796 they got confused and grabbed a die that they did not plan on using until the 1850s!image

  • Oh so that is what happened, if the lot was cheaper (also shipping $45 ouch!!) I would buy it just to have that coin. Have to be pretty interesting to have that die combo on one piece.

  • Hmm.. are you ever tempted to bid the price out of reach so nobody gets screwed? I should make a backup account just for that..

    China's apparently the active source of all sorts of counterfeits now.

    It'll be nice when those fledgling capitalists over there decide to go by the rules as well as go for the profit. image

    It's too bad people are going to be snookered by this sort of thing.
  • StuartStuart Posts: 9,793 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The only consolation is that most of these fakes are so crude and inaccurate that they won't fool too many of the people who would consider spending large sums of money to purchase them.

    However, it is a bad thing for the collecting hobby, and should be better controlled in country.
