<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1110870, member: 26302&quot;]Just to add my 2 cents, when looking at this coin, what strikes me as odd is the razor sharp points on the lettering. These cash coins came up to the edge surface and had a flat plane parallel to the edge. These letters are too sharp, even for a mother coin, in its relief of the lettering.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simply put, production casting cannot produce such lettering typically. As a collector I always assume the coin I am looking at is a production piece, not a mother coin, and would quickly reject a coin such as this based upon this reasoning. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps why people are quick to condemn this coin. As Gary stated, there almost is no lower limit to what coins will be forged in China nowadays. Think of it this way, just because its only worth $.50, it may only cost $.10 to make, still leaving a decent profit margin in bulk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
