I agree here! Chinese cash are a very good way to obtain large coppers on the cheap. You can look for lots on eBay. You shouldn't find it too...
I actually wasn't going to say anything further, but I think I will. This is just another case of caveat emptor...ESPECIALLY with regards to...
Unfortunately, no. Go to the section entitled What the PCGS Guarantee Does Not Cover and go five dots down.
