<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 392279, member: 6370&quot;]often style is a dead give away...for casting there are definite checks you can make with the naked eye and if its a real good cast one might have to go down to the microscopic level where it is much more difficult to hide signs of casting as compared to coins that are struck. If it is a coin that was struck, made from a casting, again there are signs left behind by the original casting of the die. The more dangerous fakes are struck coin made by original dies made by a person who has mastered the style of the period....these are not at all common.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have always thought it would be a real tough job authenticating cast chinese coins....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
