In addition, the museum’s collection is based on examples pulled from recent documented hoards, so the patina styles and color are going to be very consistent between examples. Lastly, the Shanghai museum takes the cream of the crop of the hoards found. The satellite museums near the find spots get the brunt of the hoards, such as this museum in LinZi:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://primaltrek.com/blog/2014/12/02/ancient-chinese-coin-exhibit-at-the-qi-heritage-museum/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://primaltrek.com/blog/2014/12/02/ancient-chinese-coin-exhibit-at-the-qi-heritage-museum/" rel="nofollow">http://primaltrek.com/blog/2014/12/02/ancient-chinese-coin-exhibit-at-the-qi-heritage-museum/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some genuine examples on the private market.
