<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2762700, member: 24314&quot;]I was delighted to read your qualifications!&nbsp; More power to you.&nbsp; The reason none of the TPGS touch these coins is because no one working for them is qualified to authenticate them.&nbsp; THEY ALL LOOK COUNTERFEIT because of the way they were made.&nbsp; Locked away in museums in China are genuine pieces.&nbsp; Chinese collectors grew up with them.&nbsp; When I was growing up, the only cash I saw were attached to sewing baskets...LOL! </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a large book, Chinese Currency by F. Schjoth to look up the &quot;junk&quot; (sorry) I buy when they are cheap enough.&nbsp; Nevertheless, who knows when they were made or if they are genuine.&nbsp; I use many of them to &quot;throw the I Ching&quot; for fun with friends. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As to the lot you missed...at least two collectors wanted something.&nbsp; Perhaps now the under bidder will get one and then no one else will care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
