They're still collectors. But they place all their faith in the label instead of judging the coin itself. I've seen it happen from AU Indian Cents...
I didn't see anything ban-worthy from you.
I'm glad you like it!
I have a hanger Si Zhu as well. Also from Frank Robinson. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is a Han Xing (Han Rising): [ATTACH] If the reports are true, then yes.
I think they were all made within 30 years of each other. They are too similar in style to not be. If the reports of being found in tombs datable...
@Alegandron I really like your Han Xing. It is very hard to find one that looks nice (I don't even have one). Your's looks nice.

Sometimes it depends on the coin and how familiar people are with it. If I post an ancient Chinese coin no one knows about, a few may "like" it...
The seller had it at VF details and sold it for $50. Someone took a clean EF/AU coin and dumped acid on the obverse, and then proceded to scratch...
Not if you know what you're doing. ;) Check out the under $50 thread for good example material.
My thoughts exactly. Well, technically, the ink number printed on the worthless sheet of paper is also an opinion. That worthless piece of paper...
He's saying that he won't be the idiot that pays $1K for a modern coin that can be bought for a couple bucks raw. Also, your example is a bit...
