Yes Nope No clue It’s probably authentic. I rarely encounter fake wu zhus
That was a one-off arrangement with a dealer who bought a hoard of Chong Ning 10 cash in slender gold script. If any regular folk sent them in,...
I’ve heard they contract out Chinese coins to a highly-reputed dealer, but that is not confirmed. I have not seen a single fake Chinese coin in...
No, just a slab
I read that the site was dated using radiometric dating methods. That gave it a lot more credibility in my opinion. So I guess I officially have...
Hi. Resident expert in Chinese material. I’ll try to help you where I can. Sure! From my collection: [ATTACH] It is not. The whole coin is...

You would have to calibrate the software with super high grade examples of each variety, and then AI to determine what are just bumps and...
Variety populations can only go up. The internet made it very easy for varieties to be identified and bought with a correct attribution,...
S-51 is supposed to be an R.5 variety, but I have seen enough pop up on eBay to bring it down. The population of some varieties were grossly...
