<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1986019, member: 19463&quot;]It is amazing that we have coins 2500 years old that look as good as they did the day they were made but we can never judge authenticity on something just because it looks old or suspect falsehood because it does not.&nbsp; Chinese cash were made by the zillions (technical term) and millions (literally) survived in great shape depending on where they spent the years.&nbsp; There are also fused lumps of the things that can not be separated safely. Being able to tell the difference is a real skill.&nbsp; This link tells of a 3 ton find in 2010.&nbsp; The coins were very common well before that.</p><p><a href="http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/12/2010/massive-hoard-of-chinese-coins-uncovered" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/12/2010/massive-hoard-of-chinese-coins-uncovered" rel="nofollow">http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/12/2010/massive-hoard-of-chinese-coins-uncovered</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
