[QUOTE="Black Friar, post: 4904744, member: 76221"]I had a similar thing happen to me and a major Asian dealer in the US. First it went to PCGS who rejected it, then on to NGC who rejected it as well. An NGC person paid them a visit and the head Asian coins guy asked him to have it looked at again. It came back MS-63; it was a bronze pattern. I was a very happy camper. Sorry no pic, but I thought best not to include any more information. I really wrestled about selling it as I do collect some Chinese, mostly Imperial and Republic bronzes. It was a good time to sell as the market was not as it was a few years earlier but I was quite satisfied with the outcome. I still have the photo as well as the fun of the acquisition. It was at the bottom of two canvas bags of full of about 400 Imperial and Republic cash coins. The more coins you look at including outside of one's specialty, the more knowledge one acquires, and the more good luck one has. Never sell a coin without checking it thoroughly. One persons junk, is another's good fortune. I love this hobby.[/QUOTE]
