<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1591903, member: 12789&quot;]I am venturing out on a limb with this - I possess a study group of Chinese forgeries of these coins and it is remarkably similar to the 1828 in my group - the colouring suggests that after it was struck it was heated in a furnace or something on a lower setting to &quot;age&quot; it.&nbsp; The characters in the date are spot on for the 1828 I have.&nbsp; They are making really decent copies of these coins and selling them via eBay and other venues to people in the USA etc that then pawn them off on unsuspecting individuals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
