I saw this auction on eBay and I thought the surface looked really weird on this coin. Do you think it's a fake or is there a good reason for it...
Yeah, I can see some differences comparing it to a real one. Thanks for the info.
How do you know the holes are from casting and not wear? I'm not doubting you, I'm just trying to understand how to see this. To my inexperience...
Yes, there is the argument that the language is always changing, so we might as well go with the flow. But the other way of looking at it is that...
I think that it is informative to see what other people are willing to pay for something. I buy the coins that I like, and one way I think about...
I work as a copy editor. The Internet is just one big source of aggravation for me, along with restaurant signs, store signs, garage sale signs, etc.
On the subject of learning about buying from selling, I think I have learned some interesting things. The biggest things I've learned probably...

I said this on another thread recently, but the problem with free shipping for me is that I think shipping discounts encourage people to buy...
Those of you who sell on eBay may have noticed the new buy it now policy change. Now, an item is still available for sale after someone purchases...
Yeah, something like this is something I wasn't looking for and just saw when browsing the auctions that were about to end, so no time. This one...
I wouldn't have either if I'd known it was a fake. I honestly expected I'd just get outbid. I never expected to win it. It was just one of those...
Yes, it is magnetic, so you're right, no more reason to discuss. I paid $7 I believe, so at least I didn't lose that much on it. I should have...

First off, let me admit this was a stupid purchase. I know little about Chinese coins and I know this type is often faked. But it was being sold...
