<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25497604, member: 4626&quot;]Not impossible, but not all fakes are good fakes.&nbsp; Maybe they were hoping nobody would examine it closely, or maybe they just weren&#039;t good at making a passable fake (to be fair, it passed for <i>this</i> long, so...).&nbsp; The thing that makes me lean towards spending fake rather than collecting fake is that it&#039;s not a particularly valuable coin today to make it worth faking.&nbsp; (I concede that doesn&#039;t necessarily prove anything; I myself have a fake Chinese coin that would only be worth about $15 today if it were real.)&nbsp; I don&#039;t know 100% that it wasn&#039;t made to fool collectors, but it&#039;s not what I&#039;d put my money on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
