[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 84273, member: 4373"]Most definately agree; I even have real trouble trying to tell the difference between a genuine or counterfeit even though I know rather fluent chinese. You must remember though that workmanship in China nowadays rather decent or rather darn excellent for the values of what you pay. Suppose if you had this die, [img]http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/901676.jpg[/img] And if I sold you for 20 dollars and including the reverse (that's what I heard from some people who *used* to see such dies) How tempted will you be to make counterfeit coins from this??? I'm sure (or hoping) that you will say no, but there are always plenty of people who think of abusing such dies to strike counterfeit coins (hence all those counterfeit coins) Afterall, if you stuck 100+ coins and sold them for 5 dollars each, which seems to be the "retail price", tada, $$$. Evil but this kind of trade still exists. Regardless, if it's genuine, I must congradulate you. I do recommand you to take a gram scale that measures up to one decimal place and give it some weight comparsion. Quite often that will filter the odd coins out...[/QUOTE]
