<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MCMLXXVIII, post: 644148, member: 19717&quot;]I&#039;m not much of a real coin collector, I just collect what I occasionally find. Most of my coins are not that old... from the 20th century and some from the 19th. I can recognize most of them, but there are a few I have a vague idea about, so that&#039;s why I&#039;m here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll start with the Chinese coins. All the Chinese coins I have come directly from China, I bought them in various provinces while traveling in China. I know for sure most of them should be fakes and I don&#039;t even have doubts about them being fakes because they look fake or because they cost me pennies. The trouble is I cannot remember how much I payed for them nor when and where exactly I bought them, but I hope some of them should be genuine. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have three big Chinese coins with a square in the middle that kinda look like traditional feng-shui coins and I haven&#039;t seen anything like it on the web. So hopefully you can help me. Here are the photographs:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac71/lionbeat/old-chinese2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac71/lionbeat/old-chinese1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My questions are:</p><p>1. Do they look real? How do I recognize a fake?</p><p>2. What coins are these?</p><p>3. What would they be worth?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
