<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2451975, member: 24314&quot;]This post is not directed to you alone but to everyone who posts coins with questions about authenticity.&nbsp; Except in the case of very crude pieces that SHOULD NOT fool any coin collector with a little basic knowledge of what a coin&#039;s design should look like; THERE IS NO WAY even an expert on the posted coin or any other coin can make a credible opinion based on small images.&nbsp; Authentication seminars use stereo microscopes to view the surfaces of coins.&nbsp; A typical image of the OP&#039;s coin under suitable magnification would show about 1/2 of one of the Chinese characters on the reverse - and nowadays the authenticator STILL may not be able to be sure the coin is genuine![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
