<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 950885, member: 26302&quot;]Get a hold of many Chinese coins from all eras. Start to handle them, inspect the edges, look at the style a calligraphy, just get a complete sense of the coin. Then compare that to coins made 500 years earlier or later. Feel and see the differences. It just seems like you can feel and see the progression in coining being made over the centuries. That is what I was talking about. I am sure other collectors know it, even if they haven&#039;t thought about it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Its just like the best way to tell forgeries is to handle thousands of real coins. You eventually get to know them well, and can spot an imposter pretty quickly. I find this only works in person, doen&#039;t really help with photos much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
