<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 432622, member: 6647&quot;]That&#039;s an interesting history of how you came about the coin.&nbsp; A modern-day fake would probably be produced in China, very unlikely to have been made in some local village.&nbsp; Counterfeits were produced as well, contemporary to the originals, but the idea was to pass them as real in transactions, not as numismatic items.&nbsp; However, I think most contemporary counterfeits were well underweight for obvious reasons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
