<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnYangMan, post: 8309656, member: 87271&quot;]I am afraid your suspicions are correct; these are without a doubt fake. Not only are they off style and fabric-wise, their patinas are applied and their calligraphy isn’t spot on. The Kai Yuan also does not match the style of imitation we think might have issued in Goryeo Korea, so isn’t even a forgery of a Korean coin, which he deceptively listed as such.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller you’ve bought these from is exceptionally tricky. He does have some genuine stuff, but also one-eye-fakes of major rarities in cash coins (Yinping round coin, nine-fold Song cash, etc.) that sell for thousands if genuine. Yet for 50 usd you can buy his! Steer clear of him, unless youre buying slabbed moderns. His pictures make the patina seem more convincing and I have caught myself many a time having to take a second look at his listings.</p><p><br /></p><p>In bronze, the Tong guk reverse Qian Yuan is a 1000+ USD coin (I’ve only had an Iron example in my collection in a very mediocre quality, which I already count myself very lucky with)</p><p><br /></p><p>Wish I had better news! Hopefully you can get your money back![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
