<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 8156304, member: 102653&quot;]Here&#039;s a Chinese cash that came in a cheap group lot I picked up off of eBay a few years ago. I was sure this one was a modern forgery, one of the Feng Shui coins, but I posted it around and David Hartill, author of Cast Chinese Coins and a handful of other works on East Asia, responded to my inquiries and told me that it was legitimate, at least in age, but that it was a circulation forgery dating to the late 1600&#039;s. The coin doesn&#039;t match any published variety (at least in his book) because it was from a private mint and was quietly slid into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1423262[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>Next: Another contemporary counterfeit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
