<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 4508894, member: 99642&quot;]What site would that be, Bru?</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t speak for anyone but myself but you are absolutely right when you say that I am not familiar with this &quot;coin&quot;.</p><p>And you are absolutely right when you say &quot;it&#039;s a genuine piece...&quot;&nbsp; but a genuine piece of what?</p><p><br /></p><p>This appears to me to be a &quot;larger-than-life-size&quot; representation of a real, genuine coin. I would think the reason it is so large and heavy would be to avoid any misconceptions of it being a counterfeit.</p><p>As such, it is a gift shop type of thing that could be found in any &quot;Oriental&quot;, &quot;Eastern&quot;, or &quot;Chinese&quot; style of gift shop.&nbsp; It is meant to be a &quot;Good Luck Charm&quot; and would be found, in use, most likely as a paperweight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, with that opinion given, I&#039;m very open to being corrected. I always <i><b>love</b></i> to get new information and learn new things. Now please correct me with that new information so that I will have the correct information for the future. Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Something to consider is that many people come to this site with a coin or something else, and they ask us for our opinions of what they provide photos of. We do our best to provide opinions, and ONLY opinions, of what we&#039;re shown. Sometimes the opinion is good, sometimes it&#039;s not so good. However, in EVERY CASE it is an honest opinion. Could we be wrong? Of course.</p><p>Many times the new member comes in with a preconceived notion of what he has. When he hears the opinions, sometimes he gets dejected, sometimes he gets elated, and rarely, he gets angry.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have no reason to lie to you or anyone.&nbsp; You asked for opinions, you got opinions. If you think we&#039;re wrong, please prove it and we will be happy to accept it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks and please keep posting anything Numismatically related.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
